I can get current photos either later this week or early next week. If I take digital photos and put them on a CD, what resolution and size would you prefer. If you want them, I will contact you by e-mail on how to send the CD. After you see the photos I can also take additional ones for you.

I think they were interchangeable depending on the whim of the moment. I gotta find the silly thing. Whhat d'ya want, scans or colour copy?

I gots a brochure of "Yesterday's Air Force" from the late 80's or early 90's. It's got a couple pages on the B-26 that went to Kermit. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT...... but I *will* scan or colour copy it for ya if ya want.

Hi Jase,

Thanks let me know how much I owe you the YAF stuff is the main items I'm trying to work on now.

Its rather mind boggling trying to find out what was YAF and what was part of MARC.

I hope I can find them. I've got several thousand unsorted slides to dig through . I started looking last night but no luck yet. I don't know the identities of any of the planes though. I did run across a couple of shots of the unrestored P-47 that was at Eagle Aviation at Jones-Riverside Airport near Tulsa. I also remember seeing the hulk of a P-40 at Eagle Aviation. I think it had been recovered from Alaska. Don't know what ever became of it. I haven't found any pics of it yet. I'll add some of the pics to the Odds and Ends album this evening.

Hey Rob--

PM me your snailmail address; am digging out spares/negs of the Tallichet stuff that's been around here, figure the most sensible way to get it to you is just to mail it!

i believe the maps museum of akron ohio have or did have a b-26 marauder which dave t. salvaged out of the canadian bush. i think maps also had a t-28 trainer & a mig 17 that belonged to tallichett too. i heard though he yanked some of his planes from the maps museum. any truth to this?? any word on his 100th bomb group restaurant located across from cleveland hopkins int. airport?? i know the building is up & looking good. regards, tom

Tom that is correct, a two page article on the status of them in the upcoming Classic Wings.

hi dave, thanks for the reply. so ole diamond dave yanked his stuff from the maps museum?? what pissed him off?? i'm a little embarrassed that you are 1/2 way around the world & i'm only 1 hour from the maps museum!!!! you know what the scoop is their better than i do!! that's pretty pathetic on my part!!! i better take some time off of work!! i was a member of maps for a year, made some generous donations, & never got a thank you. my best friend who is an aviation artist did the same as me & received the same from maps museum, + he did some major art work on their airshow program & never got thanked for that too. what goes around, comes around. regards, tom

Hi Tom

I am not privy to what went down between them and David, and really, it doesn't concern me. The article will only deal with the status / history and location of the aircraft now and their promising future.

[tom d. friedman]

sounds like dave is in for a sword fight!!!!

[DaveM2]

I am sure Robs' book will be far more comprehensive, the CW article is just a snapshot of around 10 of the aircraft which are now all at the same location.
