343rd FG Warhawks - Lotsa Pix

[CWBuff]

I'm going to be putting these up on my site soonly, but thought I'd share them here first.

11th Fighter Squadron...




















This shot shows hollywood studio mogul Daryl Zanuck (middle) and director John Huston (left) while in theater filming 'Report From the Aleutians'...




Don't have a name for this fella at hand... I think he was ops officer for the 11th. Maybe Jack has some info handy?

Real nice shots. I bet a friend of mines' "K" model is in one of those pics. Thanks much for posting these.

[Django]

OMG, those are great photos!!

[Steve Nelson]

Fan-freakin-tastic!

I've been wanting to do a model of an Aleutian Tiger, but until now I couldn't find a really clear pic of the "winterized" exhausts. Now I just have to figure out how to replicate them in 1/72...

I like the name on that first shot of the nosed-over P-40, 4Q - like that B-26 QQQQ in the other thread. Of course after this incident the pilot probably was thinking "4Q? 4Qme"

[Jack Cook]

Good stuff! I've got a few of the NARA shots. The pilots looks a bit like
Jake Dixon.

Very nice stuff. Love the pic with the guard on the berm with his Springfield.

Glad you guys like these...

Thanks for the possible ID, Jack...

Here's a few more miscellaneous images. None of these are in my collection, but I've secured them for use on the website. It may be a while before I get them all up though... so, until then I thought they'd be appreciated here...










This next one needs just a tad of cleanup!

Very nice!!!
On the color photo you see the yellow really sticking out of the rest. Must have been a sight.

[Steve Nelson]

Awsome! I've never seen color shots of the original Aeutian Tiger P-40s.

I really like the shot with the A-29 Hudson! As you know Steve, I really like these pictures!

P-40's...YA!

[CWBuff]

As you know Steve, I really like these pictures!

No, I didn't know that!

I'm intrigued by the P-40 in the second color shot..it's got the Aeutian Tiger nose art, red-bordered insignia, and two-tone camo. Would you have a closer pick that shows the tail number?

[CWBuff]

No, unfortunately I don't...

I think I know what you're thinking though, and when I get around to busting out a Hasegawa kit I'll probably have similar thoughts!
