WELL IF ITS 55F IN ILLINOIS IN FEBRUARY YOU GO FOR A RIDE.
WENT TO A FLEA MARKET/JUNK THING AND RAN ACROSS TONS OF OLD SALE ADDS FOR WW2 EQUIPMENT,P-38'S,F-4U'S,P-39'S BOMBERS LIST GOES ON,PROMOTING CHAMPION PLUGS,BUICK,ETC.. AND WHAT THE DID FOR THE THE WAR.
PRETTY COOL BUT LOOKING THRU A PILE I FOUND A SURPRISE!
I FOUND PHOTO'S TAKEN OUT OF A 1941 LIFE MAGAZINE OF THE
AVG FLYING TIGERS,ACTUAL PAGES FROM THE MAGAZINE SOMEONE HAD KEPT.
I LIKE ANYTHING P-40 AVG/23RD STUFF SO I BOUGHT IT,IT COST $3.00
I ALSO PICKED UP TRADING CARDS OF THE F-84 AND F-104 PHOTO'S FOR A $1.00 EACH.
JUST SOMETHING ELSE TO FRAME AND HANG ON THE WALL.

MONEY TALKS,B.S. JUST PILES UP.

I do the same thing Goose. One of my favorites that I like to look for is the 12 x 16 color pictures that Coca Cola used to put on the bottom of their cases of soda during the war. I have a beautifull one of a B-26 Marauder. I would like to find the one of the P-39 because it was the real original Hawg as far as I am concerned.

By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson

That was intelligent and useful Mudd.

But it certainly is what Ive come to expect.

Mindless babbling with no intent to either enlighten or inform.

I have a freind of the family that flew them in New Guinea.

I SAW I PICTURE ONCE OF ,100'S OF P-39'S GIVEN TO THE RUSSKIES IN WORLD WAR2,LINED UP,BUT UNDER THE PICTURE SAID THE USSR MELTED THEM DOWN INSTEAD OF USING THEM OR STRIPPED THEM FOR PARTS.

I'LL KEEP MY EYE OUT FOR YOU BILLY,I SAW ALOT OF P-39 STUFF,
BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE P-47 ITEM OR ADD.
STILL MY FAVORITES OF WW2,P-40/P-47/F4U'S. I FOUND A FLEER F4F WILDCAR DIECAST BANK THE OTHER DAY,ALL MOVING PARTS,GOOD DETAIL AND A HIDDEN BANK FOR $10.00'S, I KNOW THEY MADE A F4U-1 IN THE SAME SERIES I'M LOOKING FOR.
