First post - Hello

I ran across this forum by accident and have been a lurker here for a while. This is an excellent site and full of great resources, you should all be proud! My name is Paul and I live in Appleton, WI. I thought I would introduce myself and share some of my WW2 aircraft photos. I'm not a pro photographer but love taking pictures of 2 loves...WW2 aircraft and drag racing (of all things!). I've posted some photos from the 2006 EAA event from Oshkosh. These are just the WW2 stuff, I also have some cool shots of the Rapor....Use any you like for personal use, they are all resized to 1024X768 for wallpapers. Let me know if you need any full size. This is the link to all:

Have fun!

Paul

Blackwolf thank you! The only P-40 that I have handy is from 2005 Oshkosh:



here is a few from that year that I like, especially the P-47 and all the heat from that Pratt!









Thanks again for looking!

Paul
