Thanks for the 3-fer. We're still waiting on some of those vacation pics!


I have recently become a fan of the ME-109. Thank you for the Air Power report.

I have recently become a fan of the ME-109.

Ironic that even though the 109 was supplanted by the FW-190 A and D-9 types and later on by the jets in terms of performance, most of the great German aces of the war flew it.

And, of course, the P-47 was unrivaled as a ground support aircraft. The "Jabo" was positively dreaded by the German ground forces.
