Shows you how much I follow this, I didn't know there's a Swede in F1 again, Marcus Ericsson!

Hi all, I have been attempting to form a group build over on youtube recently. It is on trainers, so any aircraft that have the role of trainer and at any time period. The start date is December 17 and there really isn't an end time set yet. If you are interested in the GB either reply or go to...

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this thread but here it goes anyway. I'm looking into going to Pensacola with my dad and brother this January, and I'm just wondering from anyone that's been there, how much time we'd need at the Naval Aviation Museum. Also, is there...
Many of you will have heard of or read Heinz Knoke’s “I Flew for the Fuehrer”. One of the incidents he relates is his victory over a Mosquito on 6 November, 1942. The book was written some years after the war ended, and Knoke was going by memory. Problem with his story is, no Mosquito was lost...
Built this kit over the past few months. Great kit all in all. Now that I'm back in semi hibernation mode for the winter I hope to spend more time building !
The Greatest Man I ever knew
An unassuming gentleman passed quietly this morning, 7 November 2015, most would not notice. He was a frail old man who could not take care of himself any longer. Born on July 22ed 1926 in the small town of Decatur Arkansas, to Mary and Ode Phillips he was the...
I registered an account here last night and decided to sleep on it before doing anything else, and returned this afternoon to discover that my account had already been deleted. Not quite sure why that happened but I'm going to assume it's inactivity-related, so I'm forcing myself to post this...
Recently bought these three data plates. Any info on them?
I know a fair bit about the C-47 (ADF Serials)
A little about the B-25
But nothing about the Supermarine one, most likely Walrus? Any help?
Also a few sources say the B-25 was recovered once upon a time but where did it end up...
BBC reporting an F-18 of the US Navy has crashed in Cambridgeshire at about 10.30 am UK time this morning.
Update.
Unfortunately it seems the pilot has lost his life.
:salute:
I was re-reading Shattered Sword, about the battle of Midway, and started to think about how much more bang-for-the-buck the first team of US naval aviators gave compared to later pilots. In the Battle of Midway, for example, three squadrons of pre-war trained SBD pilots sunk 3 carriers in one...

Does anyone have good source where I can read about the standard/theoretical organization of USAAF air units from 43-45?
I have only found this: USAAF - Organization and Equipment - Tactical Organization | but that's with an unknown number of reserve aircraft and not broken-down into squadrons...
