If not, it might be good to start one.

As far as I know there are no threads that talk about drop tanks exclusively. Like you said. American drop tanks come in a wide variety including the use of british drop tanks on american aircraft. It is a good idea though not exactly sure on how to start it. I guess you could post pictures of certain types of drop tanks and then post the types of aircraft it was used on underneath the picture. Idea's?
