Due to popular demand it's time for another WIX photo auction. It has been suggested by a number of folks that instead of one big auction with 250+ photos that I break it down into smaller auctions so everybody who wants to can participate without spending $300+. So There we be a number of auctions of themed sets of 20 photos each starting at $35.00.
The sets will be (and I'll add to them) VMF-214, AVG, Color, B-24 & B-17s ETO, B-25s & B-26s, B-24s/B-17s/B-29s SWP & CBI, Nose art, ETO fighters, Corsairs, P-40s, P-38s ect ect.
Due to the interest in the bombers laterly we'll start with ETO/MTO B-17s and B-24s. You've seen the photos I've posted the past couple of days.
PM me with your bids. With Scott's approval auctions will run for 7 days.

Just my opinion, but you don't need to see what's up for bid. :D

I bid on a bunch of photos that Jack had up for auction back during the Christmas season and never saw any of them until I got them in the mail (I got lucky and won the auction). I can tell you right now that they were worth every penny and I'll do it again if I ever get back on my feet.

Hi Ya'll,
The reason you don't see any photos up is because the first batch are is of the B-17 and B-24 combat shots I've posted the last week or 2.
Just scroll down and you'll see the photos. I thought that would be easier the first time since they're already posted :idea:

Hey Jack have you ever seen a pic of one of the flying tigers on his airplane with a real tiger on a leash? I would love to get that pic.

Due to the unforseen circumstances this auction is suspended until further notice.

Scott et al,
By a quirk of fate, the photos for the first auction are at the photo shop
and I can get them and mail to the winner. The disk for those is still in my truck also :)
Let me know if you want to do that.
Best to all...........Jack
