We're all familiar with the round insignia YB-40 like this:



I've not seen one with the red edged stars and bars before.



I do like the Vega cartoon!

I found this while looking for repaints for my MS flight simulator's b-17 add-on: A rendition of "Cotton Eyed Joe II" of the 99th BG, 347th BS. This aircraft ditched in Ajaccio harbor (Corsica) on November 8, 1943. Some parts can still be seen underwater. Off to bring up Google Earth! Does anyone ha...

I don;t know if it's been suggested before, might it be time to add the other two big bombers from WW2 or even the A-20, A-26 and the B-26? I suggest this because there are B-25 pages at this site so it can't be Boeing favoritism. It might make for more daily postings and a bigger presence on the 'N...

EAA's Aluminum Overcast flew in to my town for a couple of days this week and I stopped by. I heard a mechanic say that there was a persistent fuel leak they were working on and they thought it had been fixed...

Has it been determined why the fire started?

Maybe, and please don't take this the wrong way, but would the Liberty Belle's remains possibly have one?

I visit Zeno's warbirds video website frequently. They have two B-17 instructional videos, plus similar videos for almost every other type of USAAF bomber and fighter. They also post new videos in their 'at the matinee' section every month and take the old vids down so revisit every once in a while....

Culled from some sources on the 'Net. Most are really high quality.

For the Belle freaks, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In has Wyler's 'The Memphis Belle' available for free watching or d/l. I've been able to save it in Windows Media Player by letting the video load and watching, then clicking on 'file', then 'Save As'. Supposedly it's color corrected, I'm watching it ...

I was reading through my copy of Final Cut (3rd ed.) and noticed something. There were three B-17s used by Israel as bombers, but they tried to smuggle in four. One was seized in the Azores and the trail ends there according to Final Cut. Does anyone know what happened to it? I searched the forum bu...

My screen on both displayed turbobit & a captcha screen to d/l both files...but I'm using Mozilla Firefox, adblock plus, and no script, so maybe, just maybe you might have had something pop up that I've told my browser to not display? Sorry about the confusion - does anyone care enough to d/l these ...

Links to jpegs of a B-25 and a B-17. Just d/l, unrar and enjoy! They're not mine, just something that I found this morning.

Found at flightglobal.com

/is that insignia correct on the Fort? It doesn't look right to me

I'm not sure where you should go, but get whatever they promise you down in writing and you keep the original!
