Up next, here is a flight of early F4Us from VMF-124. They were flown by Kenneth Walsh (White 13), Bill Johnston (White 14), William Crowe (White 18), and Howard Finn (Black 17).
For today, here is a flight of MS.406s from 3 Esc., GC II/2. They were piloted by Karel Seda / Josef Hybler (#2), one pilot unknown to me (#3), and Pierre Dorey (#4).
Today's planes weren't at all difficult or impressive to paint, but are more of a tribute to three amazing men. They are Spitfire Is of 609 Sqn., piloted by three of the eight known Americans who fought in the Battle of Britain (and later, in Eagle Squadrons). They were flown by: Eugene “Red” Tobin (PR-C), Andy “The Mad Russian” Mamedoff (PR-A), and Vernon “Shorty” Keough (PR-U). I just finished reading Alex Kershaw's book The Few, which does a great job of retelling of their stories.
Up next, here are some I-16s from the 4th Squadron of the 67th IAP. They were flown by Savenko (72), Naumov (85), and two others who are unknown to me (70 and 78).
Up next, here are some P-40s I did a while back. They are Flying Tigers from the 1st Squadron "Adam and Eves" of the AVG. They were flown by Robert Neale (7), Charles Bond (5), Dick Rossi (3), and James Cross (13).
It's been a while since posting, but the painting hasn't stopped. Here are some FW 190Ds from JG26. Two are from Stab./JG26 (14 piloted by Josef Priller, and 5 by an unknown pilot), and two are from 14./JG26 (1 by Hans Dortenmann and 8 by Werner Zech).
