Great pics!

Fascinating to see the Ju-88 with the spraylat still on it. I knew that it was stored at DM for awhile, but had always wondered if it was flown or trucked to Wright-Pat. I guess that answers the question. She certainly looks better now..I have to applaud the NMUSAF for repainting her in her original Romanian markings, rather than a more recognizable Luftwaffe scheme.

Eric

If you are still about, can you read any serial on the Lancaster (s) on the original print?

TIA
Dave

The B-17 is N3678G, B-17G-90-VE 44-8990.

After checking Appendix Five of Scott Thompson's great book: "Final Cut: Revised and Updated Edition", I discovered that only one B-17 had an "N" number that ended in '78G' and that was N3678G, 44-8990. If you look closely at the posted photo, there is a bright spot over part of the 6 that makes it look like a 3 or 5.


No bright spot in this shot, she incorrectly wore N3578G for some time judging by photos of her floating around on the world wide interweb. P-63E 43-11728 is at Pima. Do not know the date of the bulk of the photos but the F-105 was lost 1962 03 16, if that helps anyone. Great stuff, thanks for posting.
