Hi all, I have been collecting pictures and information to support some existing projects as well as planning on some new projects. I could use some help with images and some of you have demonstrated amazing skills in locating obscure images. The images should be public domain or owned by you if you do choose too help.

I am looking for help in the following subjects:

Power plants
- images of aircraft images, both by themselves and mounted.
- Engine maintenance images
- Propellor maintenance or installation images.

Ordnance
- British bombs, rockets and torpedoes
- Japanese bombs, rockets and torpedoes

Armaments
- machine guns and cannons for aircraft, both by themselves and mounted
- Ammunition feed systems
- Turret detail images.

Airfield equipment
- Vehicles
- tools and equipment
- bomb carts and loaders
- control and/or radio vans
- Misc airfield gear

I appreciate the help and images can be added to this thread or sent to

Can that email address be used to submit corrections for image sources? A large number of images in the P-40 section of the Resource Center are attributed to the 'Mark Allen' collection, when, in reality, many are my scans of original prints in my collection. And many others come from other sources, such as the NARA via Fold3.com, National Naval Aviation Museum, and the Boston Public Library, to name a few.

So, Scott;

Are simple "cowling off" photos (which I took) like this of any help?

Doubt it, but just asking.

Also have a few like this:

This Merlin was on a cart as an example of a rebuilder's art.

Took these at Reno 2013 - someone added four more rows to the "R-8720" this year.

A mishmash of (familiar public domain) color photos. Might be something of what your looking for. Too lazy to label them right now.

You were looking for 'horse/airplane/girl' photos' as well right?

Super-groovy color, Mark... and all is well. No worries at all, guy.
