Thanks a lot, Eric! I'm grateful for the prints. What's funny, I was enjoying a beer when I read your post!

Glad to be of help, Eric! With all the discussion of this airplane, it would have been a shame not to have photos. I'll drop your prints in the mail soon and get them back to you.

The photos from Eric arrived today, so I scanned them in and have them hosted. In order to conserve bandwidth for our dial-up brethren, the ones on this page are smaller versions. The full size photos can be found here and here . http://okwreckchasing.org/images/roscoe/roscoe1tn.jpg http://okwreckch...

I'll keep a watch for them and get them up quickly.

Glad to be of help, Eric! Too bad I live too far away to help you scan those slides....you have a real treasure of history.

User Shield is a mod from the phpBB site, and takes but a few minutes to install. The way it works is if you have forum activation sent to User, t...

B-17G 42-5367 crashed 11 February 1943; 17 miles east of WW AAF. Acft was inbound on an instrument approach when it struck a ridge. All ten crew were killed in the impact. Probable cause was the pilot's approach at below minimum altitude, and "undesirable radio range facilities" as the beam was off ...

Glad to see the board is back in business, Scott! phpBB is a great script....I use it on my website as well. But I know what a pain it can be when problems arise. I recently had to move to a new (very php friendly) host after a second major virus attack on the old host. Fortunately, though, we were ...
