look at the size of it, compared to that marshal out front
Saw one up at the Reading Airshow some time back. It was next to a Hurricane (itself no small airplane) and yet it made it look tiny.
The Jug is huge for it's time.

Lots of complimentary words I would use to describe the Jug, I'm not sure 'sleek' would be one of them...
Nightwitch is an interesting choice of handle, have you read the book? It's in my pile...
WellWell, I just think it's sleek and sexy compared to ugly planes like the P-51 and the Spitfire, that's all.
As for the book, I don't know which you're referring to. I take my handle from the Nachthexen, the Russian women pilots of the 588th NBAP.
Well
I guess it's in the eye of the beholder...
The book in question is indeed
Night Witches
The Untold Story of Soviet Women in Combat
Bruce Myles
ISBN: 0 89141 125 9
It's quite an oldie, I picked it up in a second-hand bookstore and stamped across the forward edges of the pages of the book (when closed) is:-
Station Library
US Naval Security Group Activity
FPO New York 09518
so it came a long way just to land in my to-read pile...
Sadly, nobody makes a kit for a 75% scale replica.4 jugs in one place? Exciting! That's got to be one of my favorite American aircraft. Sleek, beautiful, lines.
