Warbird Information Exchange

The B-32 and YB-49 come to mind.

Solid choices.

I will add to my personal short list (there are other extinct ones, but these are the ones I would like to see:)
Short Sterling
BV-222
Curtis SC1

Without a doubt, my number 1 pick - the TBD Devastator!

I thought the type was recently un-extincted?

Don't think it counts until they're recovered.

Chicks Dig Warbirds.......right?

Republic P-43 Lancer
Martin Baker MB-5
DeHavilland Hornet (apparently this one may be coming to pass)

I second a B-32 Dominator or flying wing bomber

Correct, underwater doesn't count. It is extremely unlikely that any underwater TBD's will ever be recovered, therefore they will reach a point in time where the metal will dissolve and turn into paste and become unrecognizable as an airplane.

Curtiss P-40Q.
There was one, but its value wasn't recognized at the time.

Ditto the Stirling,

and for my pick of types I would like to see flying :

Me 323 Gigant (just to scare the H**l out of everyone)
Miles M35 Libellula (resembles a Lysander that has been assembled by a mechanic on drugs).

I've got to agree with a Stirling. A major combat type. A lot if guys died in them. Hard to believe a major allied type would be scrapped into extinction...especially in the UK, a place that really likes it's history.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

Yep, B-32 and TBD were the first to come to mind.

Northrop F-15 Reporter. I believe one survived until the '60s but was destroyed firefighting.

Douglas DC-5
In many ways it was closer to the future for transport planes than its brother the DC-3.
