| P-40B Tomahawk IIb Turkish Air Force |
|
File Description:
Tomahawk MkIIB #3817 of the Turkish Air Force. The TAF obtained 42 Tomahawk IIB's from the RAF Middle East aircraft pool in 1941 and 1942. They had seen extensive service while in the RAF, and thus had a limited service life with the TAF. They were delivered to the 14th Air Battalion, 3rd Air regiment in Gaziemir. In 1943 they were transferred to the 6th Air regiment. In 1944, they were being replaced by Spitfire V's, but soldiered on until late 1946 as trainer aircraft. Their serials with the TAF were 3801 to 3842. Repaint for the A2A P-40 Tomahawk by Jan Kees Blom. I've also included a different camera view point, that works with the A2A P-40.

| P47D 368th FG/ 395th FS A7-G "Wild Bette" |
|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Shockwave Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-22-RA 42-26130 "Wild Bette", an aircraft of the 395th FS/368th FG, flown by Lt Richard Kik. He named his aircraft on the left hand side "Wild Bette", after his girlfriend. The name on the right hand side came from his crew chief, Sgt Mohn, since Kik often attacked targets relentlessly with disregard to anti-aircraft fire. In one 395th FS narrative is written "Lt Kik refuses to come back with any ammo". More on Lt Kik and his exploits can be found on the 368th FG website: http://www.368thfightergroup.com/395-kik-rife.html. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney

File Description:
TRepaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G representing B-17G-35-DL 42-107091 "Forbidden Fruit" of the 728th BS, 452nd BG, Deopham Green as it looked in the spring of 1944. "Forbidden Fruit" flew a total of only 9 missions, its first on 10 April 1944, and it's last just 40 days later, on 20 May 1944. After suffering severe flak damage on a "milk run" over Belgium, "Forbidden Fruit" crash landed at it's home base, and was declared salvage.
I dedicate this to the memory of the "Forbidden Fruit" tail gunner who lost his life on that fateful last mission, S/Sgt John R Tinker.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 42-85696, registered N85696, owned by Paul Ehlen, based just outside Minneapolis at Flying Cloud airport in Eden Prairie, MN, and can be seen on public display at the Wings of the North Museum. This aircraft originally served as an instrument trainer at Craig Field, Alabama in 1945 and 1946. Between 2002 and 2006 the aircraft was fully restored by John Meyer and Gary Allen, of Lake Stevens, WA, and it is the most accurate/authentically-complete AT-6D flying today. The restored aircraft has a propeller spinner fitted, as some of the Craig Field AT-6D's did have spinners installed, based on period photos.

| USAAF B-24D "Kate Smith" 98th Bomb Group, 9th AAF |
|
File Description:
"Kate Smith" 42-40991 was a B-24D-120-CO which came off the production lines of Consolidated, San Diego. The art work depicts American Singer Kate Smith's theme song, "When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain". This ship was flown by the 1Lt James A Deeds to Ploesti on August 1, 1943. While taking part in the disasterous 98th BG attack on the Astra Romana-Phoenix Orion refinery complex, it took a direct hit in the cockpit area over the target at an estimated 250 ft of altitude. The aircraft caught fire in the bomb bay area and exploded mid-air. Miraculously, the copilot, 2Lt Clifton Foster was blown clear of the disintergrating aircraft and was able to open his parachute. Taken prisoner, he was the only survivor of the ten man crew.
