Pass the word for a 4-blade Bent-Wing owner to "step up!"


Only Information so far seems to be a "Base Open House" in the 1950's. Still digging on this one.

Yeah makes it easier for the enemy to duck!

Looks like an interesting set of invasion markings, but for where?

[mike furline]

It's an early -4, still has the rounded windscreen. I forget what the red/orange tail band indicates.

Navy Reserve.

Well that's certainly a new one! Would be cool to see it represented on a flyer today. When did the rounded windscreen change on the -4 production line? Any aircraft (besides the prototype) that still have it?

IIRC, nearly half the -4 production run had the -1D type windscreen and canopy. I think there might be a few of them still around, but not 100% sure.

Note that ALL the cannon-armed -4Bs had the flat windscreen. So if you see a round windscreen on a -4, you know the airplane had 6x.50s, but if you see the 20mm cannon stubs, you know it had a flat windscreen. If you ONLY can see the 6x.50 ports, you can't be sure which windscreen/canopy it had.

Our -4 at War Eagles has a round windscreen.

Master Modeler Darren Roberts saw the pic after I posted a link at Hyperscale, and built an EXCELLENT model of the airplane:

darn, you're right. I didn't catch that!

Still a nice model, though.
