Hi Scott;
Great idea, but I wonder if you were aware that there is a group out there that's been doing just what you are interested in since the 1980's.
it's the WWII Airmen's Preservation Society. I've been a member since 1989 and they have several units in a few states. We've even been used in films and TV productions including the Roaring Glory series of aircraft documentaries. We also have portrayed Navy and Marine units too!
I'd try contacting them if you're interested.
Blue skies,
Jerry
