    Couple questions for the upcoming group build.

    Well, I guess here are my two largest questions,



    The B-26, does anyone know where I can get decals for a B-26 that took part on D-day?

    Did P-51D's serve at D-Day? Dumb q I know.

    Both planes, does anyone have a good picture of a B-26 and P-51 in invasion stripes?

    Thanks...

    I think you can find a few via the Net. Try to find a pic of mjr.James A. Goodson's P-51D-5-NA "VF*B" (44-13303) of 4th FG / 336th FS used in June 1944 for instance.

    Here are a few photos I found with a quick google search









    Bud Anderson, the pilot of the P-51 "Old Crow" said he was in the air for 6 hours on D-Day. That was his longest mission.
