This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The VAC in Florida has a combat vet C-47 used in the the real Market Garden drop and the movie about it as well: http://www.vacwarbirds.org/belle/TicoBelleStory.html

The "Typhoon" and "Fw.190" versions pop up again in the film Soldier of Orange, although the German-painted aircraft are seen during the invasion sequences near the start of the film! The "Typhoon" version is clearly seen at the end, as Rutger Hauer's character welcomes Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.

One of the Harvards would later crop up in the 2006 film Black Book, playing a Focke-Wulf 190 again!!


The Harvard in "black Book" was actually a Texan and privately owned and has not a direct connection with the "Soldier of Orange Harvards".
