These are some of the most beautifull pictures i've ever seen of WW2 airplanes. The corsair, what a look.

About "youtube". Sometimes i ask myself. Is this real or is it computer made. Today, you can make anything.

Thank you AvHistory


Take a look here at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino for more great shots of these flying warbirds.

http://www.planesoffame.org/menu.php

Slide down the left side to the heading "General Museum Information" & click on "Museum Photos"

When that page comes up click on the two graphics "Monthly Events" & "Airshows" to get to the picture section.  There are 100's of great shots of some of their 150+ planes.

BTW Steve Hinton a war bird pilot & the president of POF also owns, Fighter Rebuilders - a world renowned aviation company devoted to the restoration of Warbirds, has a great DVD out flying the Zero pictured above in a very aggressive manner.  In fact his roll rate on some of the maneuvers is right at 1942-43 WWII test standards when timed with a stopwatch.

Steves' DVD series have him putting most of the more famous WWII aircraft through thier paces.

Gregory has expressed some interest in expanding Version 4 to CFS2 & I have no basic problem with that,  but it will be awhile before our commitments to the MAW project & some other visual designers are finished.

Just been at the planesoffame. What a page. Never seen anything like it, never seen pictures so good before. Spend a lot of time there.

When i got to the p51, i allways get into my mind, what Herman Goering said the first time he got an eye on it:
"My pilots, now we are loosing the war"!!   
I think he was right.
