Thanks for posting these pics! Imagine smiling while you are working on an airplane. Where did I go wrong? :?

Thanks for these historic shots of one of my all time favourite airplanes!

How did you come to have these photographs? Who took them, and who owns the rights? Would it be possible to get scans of them?

Here are a couple of descendants of the original in these photos:

I think my father took the photos as he is not in the photos. He and his brother built the plane, Carl and Vincent Ast. Found the photos in a box, they have probably not been seen for the last 60 years. My Father Vincent passed away a few months ago and going through his belongings I ran across them. Im pleased to send you scan copies if interested , just PM me. Eric Image

Neal, make sure you get him to send you the copies he's offered!!! They'll blow you away. I think I'm going to post a few of the Warbird type photos on the main page to let everyone see some of those as well.
