Now, i had to look up something and saw this dead link. I thought it a good reason to explain as for why i post unknown and sometimes known shots to this site. horseUSA horseUSA is doing a great job for ohhh years and years and years in maintaining and just keeping it up in the air.

I would not have made the effort in letting you guys see whats on ebay, and more important making an archive of, i hope, not or lesser known pictures If this site was not this dependable in and all it has become. Rock steady. Friendly and knowledgeable. And some goofing around offcourse.

I would like again to thank horseUSA horseUSA for the work the money and time it takes.
I feel confident i will post those pictures for a long time here and by that help anybody to get into ww2 aviation in whatever form.
