    DC-4 Crashes Near Fairbanks April 24, 2024

    Engine 1 appears to be moved from its normal position on the wing when the plane is seen in a steep diving turn to the left. It looks like the engine mount suffered some sort of catastrophic failure at some point

    Great pictures. Who would have been doing the modifications on these to convert them to this configuration?

    Why was dogfighting a thing?

    WW1 planes were also pretty fragile and I’m sure it was pretty easy to exceed structural limits in both speed and Gs when using BnZ tactics.

    FW190, what model?

    Found this pretty poor picture of a well cannablized 190 in my wife’s grandfathers photo album. Any thought on what model it may be? Anyone have or know of a better picture of this plane?
