I'm looking for a good resource of War Time photos. I want to track down more photos if possible of the P-51 pictured below. It's P-51B "Punkie" 42-106886 5Q-O 339th FG 504th FS. Flown by 1/Lt. Robert V. Blizzard. He Belly Landed on 10 Jan 45 due to fuel starvation. Prior to 1/Lt. Blizzard, 42-106886 was flown by Capt. Duane S. Larson as "Swede". Like I said I was wondering if anyone here knew of great War Time photo resources either online or off. Atleast in this case of the 8th Air Force and it's Fighter Groups. Thanks for anyhelp

I have about 5000 photos and my buddy John who does research with me has about 25,000!!! He has a ebay store has Reddie Military Aviation Archives. I do have some 339th FG stuff. His email address is john_bruning_jr@msn.com
Here's ashameless plug. His last book JUNGLE ACE about P-38 ace Jerry Johnson is a very worthwhile read.
