ww2

Hey folks I know this is my first post here, but I'm already asking for a favor (how rude of me!). Well, I'm a freelance journalist for certain aviation magazines, and I'm writing a series of stories regarding certain aspects of the National Races; one of those being abt the Merlin engines...

Hello. I'm working on a texture pack for an old WW2 game The Great Escape (2003). One of the levels in this game is set at a Luftwaffe airfield, complete with an air traffic control tower. Unfortunately, the textures the developers used for the control equipment in the ATC tower are very poorly...

As an addition to my other post i have these 3 fantastic wooden props. The first is a complete ww2 gipsy for a moth i believe, us decorated with 4 regimental badges the rarest of which is a raf gliders badge...a ww1 sopwith propeller that has been shortened but still a good length far from the...

I have 3 spitfire propeller blades from one whole prop from a ww2 airfield crash. The crash broke the blades off as evident. They still retain thier fading camouflage finish. Is it possible to trace the plane from the serial number ive attached photos of? These were exhibited in a museum long ago.

This was posted on another forum over ten years ago. Was wondering if anyone here has the uncropped version?

Hi! Can anyone please help to identify that fuselage part from the aircraft? Found at the Norfolk coast, UK. Salthousse beach. AI suggested that it is a German Junkers Ju 88 aircraft, possibly a section of the exhaust manifold. I am very curious to see how accurate or inaccurate AI will be this...

In the 90’s I took part in the recovery of a JU88. details… The aircraft had taken off from a base in Holland on the 6th May 1941 as part of a large attack against Glasgow and Greenock. At 02:00 on the 7th while approaching its target at between 10,000 and 12,000ft it was engaged by a Defiant...

Hi! I have a family mystery I hope someone one here can solve. I've been trying to identify my Great Uncle's B-17 from WW2 to no avail. I have some pictures attached, but they have limited information. One picture has a little bit of the nose art that I hope will help identify it. His name...

What a wonderful thing y'all are doing here!! I hope to take what clues I can gather here i.e. names, dates, places and make a more complete picture of what these flags saw. I'm horribly curious about the temple stamps as well. Without the story its just a piece of cloth. Thank you so...

I recently purchased a propeller blade and I was hoping for any information that people can provide. I am still working on deciding how to finish it so any information on paint or finish would also be appreciated. There are quite a few similar props, so I want to try and be as accurate as...

When I think of WW2 air combat i think of the US with the mustangs, the British with the Spitfires, the Germans with 109s and 190s, the Japanese with Zeros, and the Italians with the RE.2001. I almost never hear of soviet air to air. I have heard of the Il-2 and IL-10 which are both ground...
