Anyone pick up the new Volume 2 of Black Sheep Squadron on DVD yet?

I did....

WHY did they feel the need to use a squadron of P-40's on the box cover (ok, 4 P-40's) for the art instead of 4 Corsairs? Not getting that one....

Other than that, love watching the old episodes.....anyone else pick them up?

I was in the checkout aisle at the local Mega-Lo-Mart the other day, and in the bargain DVD rack there was one called "Air Force Story" (a compliation of some old 40s or 50s public domain documentaries.) On the back of the box was a nice head-on shot of a pair of...


wait for it...


CORSAIRS! :roll:

It's because some DVD packaging art director thought it was an asthetically pleasing, visually intersting photo...as opposed to accurate representation!
Besides...it doesn't matter, no one will notice! :twisted:

PS: I guess it doesn't matter how accurate the box art is when inside you have "Jeb's Disco Hair" and "Pappy's Lamb's" in painted on flight suits!

Kinda like the book by Edwards Park about his P39 and P47 flying with the 41st FS, 35th FG 5th AF called "Angels Twenty".

It has TBFs on the cover. Makes perfect sense :?
