Country: | Good job, Emilio. The only thing stranger than the name was the fact that they got two pilots willing to "test fly" it. They were both killed before the end of the runway.
That's a good lookin' plane, pat.

I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."

Country: | You mean Northrup F-5? I too debated that. Hard to tell from the pic. But the long nose and no apparent rails on the wingtips was what made be decide. But in reality it could be either.

This one, 'The Missing Link', flown by Lt Anthony T Linkiewicz, has an interesting history. In his words...
"One of the more memorable photo missions that I participated in was taking pictures of the entire Bataan Death March route. The death march photos were supposed to be used by the War Crimes prosecutors in Toyko to prove that water was available for the prisoners along the route. We never heard the results of our work, but hopefully we were able to contribute."  | |
