All-

I am looking for any wartime photos of '909 from the 91st BG. Anyone have anything? I bet you do :wink:

Sorry, no ponies to give away.

There is the one color pic of the wartime 909 on the CF history page, click on it and it gets a little bit bigger

there's also a B&W photo of "Nine-O-Nine" in Roger Freeman's book, "The Mighty Eighth".

I seem to remember Jack Cook posting one some time ago, but I can't find the thread...

Oooooo Nice, looks like I need to add some more weathering to my illustration! Tired but proud!

I've posted a number so just do a search.
There's even a color one shot on a combat mission.

OhOh! That old pic of 909 airborne, Starboard side, is NOT the way the Collings Foundation did their markings! :oops:

Yes, but the original airplane didn't have staggered waist windows like the current version.
