Here's a series of aircraft that were photographed at Wright Field during the Victory Display in 1945. Some of these aircraft went on to become points of historical note, others were unceremoniously scrapped later on.
These color photos were taken by Jack Canary, who was a rep. for North American Aviation during and after the war. He remained active in the aviation world, restoring and flying aircraft and was unfortunately killed while flying a PT-22 during the filming of Tora! Tora! Tora! in 1968.
We'll start with some American aircraft:
Beechcraft XA-38 (43-14407)
Lockheed XP-49 (40-3055)
Lockheed P-80A (44-84997)
