I'd love to hear about the N3N. I read about it in an Air Classics magazine and learned there were other trainers besides the Boeing-Stearman PT-17. The author called it the "Yellow Peril." I remember him writing it was faster(?) than the Stearman. "No brag. Just fact." he wrote. This was over 50 years ago.

Oh yeah,
B-17 (The B model especially)
PBY Catalina.
Just about any plane currently under discussion.
F-86 (Not the one with the goofy nose)

Lord have Mercy, this is one of the oldest threads on the forum.

Talk about thread necromancy...



Looking out till someone find the first thread ever here and starts replying.

consider it done!

You'll have to dig down to 2003 or so, but I don't think the oldest posts (before the 2.0 upgrade in fall of 2003) were archived.
The site itself goes back to 2000, however.

See the original ww2ac webpage here:
Aircraft of World War II

Wow! Wow! Wow! that's a GEM!
