Back by popular demand and just in time for Christmas. This worked out so well last time we're going to do it again.

This is your change to get some cool pictures and help Scott with his expenses in maintaining and upgrading the Warbirds Resource Group Site of which this board is a part. Decorate your office, den or hanger. Or start, enhance or complete your own collection! Best of all you're supporting WIX!
I've tried to make it all new photos in this auction with few if any duplications. Has before, the proceeds are split between Scott and my wife leaving me with...well the bill I guess for printing all these photos!
There are 250 photos all 4 x 6 covering mainly US WWII fighters, groups and pilot with over 100 nose art shots and 64 fighter aces. Good coverage of VMF-214, Flying Tigers, Pacific P-38s, Navy/Marine F4Us, 354th FG Pioneer Mustangs, 9th AF P-38s and P-47s, MTO P38s, Eagle Squadrons, Pacific P-51s and P-47s and 8th AF fighters (361 FG, 339 FG, 20 FG, 357 FG, 353 FG and 56 FG ). These are really awesome shots. Most are from the National Archives and the rest from my collection. This means that you writers and publishers (hello Tim Savage) can use them in your efforts (all I ask is that you don't sell them on ebay). I usually sell prints for $4.00 on ebay. But here lets say a starting bid of $150.00 will suffice (that's .60 cents/photo). This is a silent auction so bid by PMing me. I'm posting some samples here. If you'd like to see more send me a email and I send you some thumbs. Any questions just ask. Good luck to you all!!!

Sooooo, what are you saying? Does this mean I actually have to pay for the pictures too? GULP! :shock: :lol:

Only kidding. Glad to be the winner and hope it helps WIX out. Just let me know where to direct the Wells Fargo truck to, via PM.
