Warbird Information Exchange

hi all,

Within the last month or two the Vintage Photo thread has been updated. Some of the older links have been broken but there is still a ton of photos on there. Most I have never seen before! It's worth a look!

Here is the link:

Thx,

Good move, Nathan, great post. Thanks!

Telegma? Where's that?? When obscure, or unknown, places like that show up on my WW2 scope, I often wonder how the guys who lived and fought from/in all those little known "there's" that get overshadowed by the European theatre must feel...kinda like the guys who flew B-24's who have to live with the iconic status of the B-17...

Anyhow, I really love the pics that turn up from time to time that were taken by individuals. Thanks again.

Love the factory shot of the C-76 and the AT-9 'Jeep'. I've read that the people who flew it (the AT-9) thought that the P-38 would have made a great trainer for the AT-9, not the other way around.

Years ago AIRPOWER did an article on the C-76 and what a logistical mess the entire project was, the author quoted someone involved in the building of them that he jokingly told a mechanic on the production line to 'not forget to install the bolts in that fitting' and the reply was' Why? I never put none in the last few' . The article also relayed that one test pilot landed with something sticking out of the wings leading edge, turned out to be a hawk they'd hit in flight and what they were looking at was the South end of a formerly North bound hawk.

Wasn't the P-40 series the last sucessful mass production undertaking by CURTISS?
