    When I'm doing research for a paint, Joe's has been a regular stop for years. Usually to see if he has anything on that particular aircraft (I like to have as complete a history on it as I can). I'm thinking about doing some fictional 1946 era P-80 paints and found a block of canceled P-80 tail numbers at Joe's that I can use so the rivet counters can't fuss about what the aircraft really looked like.

    I think its great with this resource, It amazing how much information comes back after stating an interesting topic, then again its amazing how much information was thrown away without thinking and not documented with the thought others want to see it even the seventy years later.
    It is just as much fun doing the research but sometimes at lot has to go to the artist licence department.

    Off course "Mother and Country is fiction , tail number go's with but off course you need a Boeing to go with the 'Belle'

    Its a start "Mother and Country" to Flightsim.com, I changed it with a B17-10-15 with the nose astrodome, thought it a little more appropriate to meet the movie model. Now to look at another .... "Idiots Delight" always stuck me in the center page off Roger A. Freeman's B-17 Fortress at War

    Well, actually it's in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, but I thought I'd slip it in.
