Wayne Morris----The only real Hollywood fighter ace. Joined Naval Reserve 1942 credited with 7 kills in the Pacific ( one source says 6 ) came home back to movies. Those of you who like the old B/W movies from the 30s have seen his work.
Will need an assist on these two as photos unmarked. Please confirm who I suspect they are.
These are part of the hero pictures and may help confirm who I think they are.

Photo appears to be from newsprint
Possibly at Wright Pat National Archives photo
Although these two are unmarked I suspect they are 190 cockpit due to German data on rudder pedals (left foot, Right foot), and single control throttle.
Conformation please. National Archives photos.

The instrument panels certainly appear to FW-190s.

This old UC-45J began life as a USAAF AT-7C Navigator S/N 43-33569 in 1944, transferred to USN as SNB-2C Navigator, Re-built as SNB-3E, and again as SNB-5, and finally UC-45J.
These photos taken in 1971 while assigned to NAS New Orleans and all were retired from Navy service 1972. This aircraft is now at The Monroe Historical Aviation Museum, Monroe, LA.

Interesting. What's the insignia on the camera plane in the last pic I wonder?

The Netherlands or Holland. The aircraft they bought went to their East Indies colony and any survivors were captured by the Japanese.

I thought the Dutch insignia was an orange triangle.

Although I don't remember the dates without looking it up, the orange triangle was roughly only during the war years, and went back to the four color post war. Our modelers should remember better. I'll go to wiki, because now you got me wondering when.
What's the story with the B-17? One gear down?
Lovely shots!

Tieleader,
The CAF airshow begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor and the B-17 represents an actual occurence when a flight of B-17's arrived during the attack. I think "Tora,Tora,Tora" is still the best Pearl Harbor movie and there is NO CGI. Try to go to a CAF airshow and also see the movie, available on DVD. Although they are all good with lots of flying action, the one I saw that I liked best was at Galveston, Texas, because they used the beginning part over water and around ships. The newspapers claimed some all night bar patrons hearing the planes and the explosions came outside and seeing the Japanese marked planes began yelling "They have come back".
