This event was on June 14. Not a whole bunch of warbirds but a very interesting link about WW2 manufacturing in Evansville during the war. www.warbirdsandairshows.com/Airshows%20 ... e-2014.htm

One bit of aviation history not mentioned in the link is that the Chrysler plant...then assigned to Plymouth...built many of the fuselages for Grumman Albatrosses in the late 50s.

They were then trucked to Grumman for final assembly.
