This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Thx

Let me look around. I once saw a painting of that aircraft. I will keep looking.

Capt. Kenneth Peterson was shot down by an Fw 190 in a big air battle the 4th and 355th were engaged in around Brunswick. He bailed out about 1320 and spent the rest of the war as POW.
Got DSC for single handedly taking on 20+ Fws attacking B-17s
Picture of VF-F and Peterson following pg 82 section of photos in Escort to Berlin
