Warbird Information Exchange

Writing nine books and still counting has resulted in a pretty large photo collection. I have finally started placing my military aviation photograph collection together, those not digitized, starting with 8x10s with RNZAF PV-1 Venturas being the first. Most are smaller originals or copies suppled by veterans, family, inidividuals, and archives. I hope to digitize all of them sometime in the future. My fault that I have never really organized them and they are scattered about, including a small number of negatives.
I sold some photos over the years, which I hadn't. I also have squadron histories, war diaries, AARS, etc in hard copy, microfilm, and microfiche that I hope to convert to PDF. For some reason my wife for several years has asked what she's supposed to with with all my documents and photos when I go to the great beyond.
That said, long term plan is to establish a website with some of the documents and photos.

Good day!

Good luck with your upcomimg projects/website & digitizing the photos. I look fwd like many others.. to see some of the Navy/Marines pics in your vast collection. If you happen to run into F4U-5Ns of Navy VC-3/VC-4 plz do not hesitate to post them. We are looking for one special F4U-5N that you may have in your vast F4U collection Buno 124715/FAH 609!!

Thank you for the time & attention!

I'll keep a lookout. I haven't seen such an image yet.

Some 8x10 PV-1 images. Sorry for the quality, my first attempt at using my cell phone camera.

Here is a VC-4 F4U-5N 8x10 that I scanned from an original in my collection
