    Hello from San Diego

    This is an awesome site. I'm learning to fly RC aircraft, and writing a book on how flying turned from an art into a science. WW2 was very important in that change, obviously.



    Any suggestions on good nose art sites? I have a C-47 model and I'd like to print off some original nose art to paste on. Most pictures are for bombers - I'm not sure how much cargo planes had nose art. Tomorrow I'm off to Smithsonian library to try to dig out some material on early checklists - I'll post a message about that on the Technical "Other" forum.

    thanks to all the amazing contributors.

    Welcome to the family

    I've attached a few shots of the Dak and also a shortcut to a photo thread I started on her a while back

    Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out and broken, shouting "Holy cr*p, WHAT A RIDE !!"
