Lots of great pics, some aircraft types I've never hear of or seen before. Lots of pre-war stuff. None are mine....just passing it along.
I did a search and couldn't find a post on this, if it's a duplicate, mods please delete!
Enjoy :)

Thanks for sharing that link!

Wow some great pre war pics there. First pic I had seen of the XC 32.

You guys into nose art check out page 4 of that thread. There are pics of the nose art of a LOT of 17's.

Here is just one page of them

Add my "WOW" to the list... guy's grandfather was the commander of the 381st BG during the war. That's just awesome, and it warms the heart to see this guy pride in his grandfather's service. :)
