Re: B-25 "Black Magic"

He served in North Africa 1942-1943 I believe, but also in Sicily, Italy and Corsica thru 1945, with a total of 57 missions.

I'll try to find out what bomber group he was with, that may help too.

B-25 "Black Magic"

Does anyone here have the capabilities of looking up the history of a B-25 named Black Magic. My uncle pasted away a couple days ago and he served in North Africa on it. The viewing is tomorrow and I was hoping to have a little bit of information about the plane he fought in. Any help is most welcom...

Re: 7190 on bulkhead - which B-17 is it?

By no means, do I think that I know what I'm talking about, but that doesn't look like a bulkhead gun station, possibly the right side gunner port...???

Re: Wright-Patterson tour

I hear ya, I really hope they can find a way to bring it back in the future, but honestly, I doubt it will. The B-17s are the stars of the tour, but there's just so much stuff in there that will never make it the museum. Who knows, maybe they'll do fund raising tours in the future.....I'd gladly pay...

Re: B-17G 44-83387 On the Move

The bulkhead appears to be in excellent shape, looks like a fun project.
Good luck and hope it all comes together smoothly!!!

Wright-Patterson tour

Took the wife and kids to Dayton yesterday, I was the only one who got the chance to go on the restoration tour. Truly an amazing experience, but it's sad, as many of you know, that it's being discontinued May 1st. The Memphis Belle is coming along nicely, and the Swoosh has a good start, but a long...

Re: B-17 mission info

I was able to track down Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby's missions, but am getting stumped on the Ye Olde Pub's missions.
Not sure how or if I'm going to incorporate the info with the print, but the research has been really cool and worth the time.

B-17 mission info

Doing a little research, where can I find what missions Shoo Shoo Baby (42-32076) and Ye Olde Pub (42-3167) flew on?

Re: New Build Sperry A-1A Top Turret Dome

If you have a model, you can replicate pretty much anything.....just need someone to loan out a ball turret.
