Very nice photos Jack. The B-26 looks so good when its in flight. Great photo of Flak Bait also.

Great photos,Jack. Those planes look hard at work, not the pristine ones we see in museums.

Bill,

Even though it is not displayed "complete" (NASM does have all the parts in storage) the forward fuselage of the actual "Flak Bait" is displayed in unrestored condition at their Museum on the Mall in DC. Perhaps the most "authentic" condition WWII warbird (as in not restored, certainly not pristine).

Do they have plans for putting the whole thing back together? If so, when?
