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

I think those last two might even be your blimps in the pictures!
The book is Scott Air Force Base 1917 ~ 1950 (official yearbook?). I picked up the book at an estate sale recently. If anyone is interested in the book send me an email. I would be happy to send it to a good home if someone would find it useful. There are a number of other pictures of rare aircraft in it. It is in good condition.
