Just got back from a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the restoration hangar at the Air Force Museum in Dayton.
Fascinating. Amazing the lengths they are going through to restore the Memphis Belle.
Right down to cloth wrapped wiring, correct gauge of course.

When "The Battle of Britain" was being filmed, the movie studio was said to be the "5th largest air force" in the world..

The P-38 is, IMHO, gorgeous...

When I was stationed at Dover AFB, I got to help a little on Shoo Shoo Baby...but at that time, she was in pretty bad shape...I understand she’s now at WPAFB.
