I like the differences in flying helmets and goggles, the different shape and color of the ear piece is interesting,
Thanks Jack :D

Big Beautiful Doll has always been my favorite Mustang. Does anyone know any back story about Col. Landers and how he came up with the name for his plane. Also where his other planes named the same when he was with groups.

Indeed! I was going to comment on those interesting kill markings as well! Any pics of those in color? I just love these detail shots on the AC and Pilots! Thanks again Jack, WIX Photo King!!!

Now, heres the question:

What male actors out there in Hollywoodland and such, would be best to portray these American Heros?
