Antique Aircraft Association fly-in @ Propwash 7/21

[black roadster]

How 'Boot That, flew 80 combat missions over Italy.
I watched the nose art painted by the same man on the same plane 51 years later with the same tins of paint.

Incredible!

Yeah. I heard that story. How cool is that?

There are no B-26's flying.

That must have been Lone Star's B-25 "Special Delivery" now painted up as "Doolittle Raiders"
There is also a B-25 "How 'Boot That" in the museum at Addison, but it is not airworthy anymore.

Wierd, because the plane I saw had 2 piston engines and had a traditional tail with two horizontal stabilizers and one vertical stabilizer. As opposed to the split vertical stabilizers the B-25 had. Maybe it was an A-26 Invader?

Maybe it was an A-26 Invader?

Maybe "Spirit of Waco" A-26. Was it black?
I also know the C-47 was flying, did it have invasion stripes?

Ironicly, Douglas A-26 Invaders were called B-26's in Korea after the forming of USAF.
P-51's became F-51"s too.

Tell you the truth, I can't remember that many details. But going to wikipedia and looking at the pictures I think it was a C-47.

I've got a set of WW2 playing cards that were used to help soldiers ID planes... pretty cool!

I want a set of those, just haven't gotten around to getting them.


I'm something of an expert*, if I do say so myself









*meaning I can identify some planes, not all, but more than the average douchecanoe
