| North American AT-6C/AT-6G "Double Vee" |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for Alphasim's Texan/Harvard. This aircraft, "Double Vee," is the only authentic, fully restored aircraft in existence that was once used by the Tuskegee Airmen. During WWII its roll was to train the Tuskegee Airmen in the methods of aerial combat maneuvering and gunnery, this coming before graduated kadets would transfer to the P-47 and P-51 as members of the 332nd FG. The aircraft, now owned by Steve Cowell, has been fully restored and painted in its original markings it wore while in service as an advanced fighter pilot trainer at Tuskegee, Alabama. The name "Double Vee" comes from the historic campaign waged during World War Two for African-Americans. It stood for a double, uncompromised victory - a victory abroad against the Axis powers and a victory at home against prejudice. Repaint is based on Alphasim's paintkit.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the freeware Warwick "Wozza" Carter AT-6G Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 44-81506, G-TDJN, registered to David Nock. This aircraft was restored by Midwest Aero Restorations in the U.S. and completed in 2011. Restored with incredible detail and authenticity, the aircraft won the Reserve Grand Champion WWII award at Oshkosh that year. The aircraft has since arrived nearer to the owners home in the UK where it has been operating since 2012. The aircraft is finished in the markings of a true original wartime AT-6, that was operated as a 'squadron hack' by the 353rd FG in England during WWII. This repaint includes all new exterior textures (including specular and bump maps), new engine and modified wheel well textures, and new and modified cockpit textures throughout to provide the look of a restored factory fresh finish. This repaint requires the files t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip to be installed first.

File Description:
This is a completely new repaint for the Warbirdsim P-51D payware products; "Little Friends", "Happy Jack's Go Buggy: Then and Now", and "Mustang Tales". This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-20-NA 44-63675 "Sierra Sue II", registered N1751D, which is the most accurate/authentic WWII P-51D flying today. A very rare combat-vet survivor, this aircraft served with the 402nd FS, 370th FG, of the 9th AF, based in Belgium and Germany in April and May 1945. The aircraft was restored from the ground-up over a 3 year period by AirCorps Aviation to bring it back to exactly as it was in April 1945, with historical accuracy down to the most minute detail (duplicated in this repaint). This repaint includes all new HD bump maps, all new external textures and modified VC textures, and multiple repaint/installation options (including additional modifications for P3D). The previous version of this repaint is not required.

File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Flight Replicas P-40N Warhawk. This repaint depicts the restored P-40N 42-105915, "Little Jeanne", registered F-AZKU. This aircraft operated in the Pacific during WWII, with the 7th FS, 49th FG, flown by Lt. Robert Warren. In the 1970's the aircraft was recovered along with several other WWII combat vet aircraft from Tadji Airfield in New Guinea. Displayed for many years in Australia, the aircraft eventually found its way to Murray Griffith and a restoration to airworthy at Precision Aerospace. Finished in its original wartime markings, the aircraft flew again in 2002, registered VH-KTI. The aircraft was operated in Australia until being sold in 2007 to the French Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis association, based at La Ferte Alais. The aircraft is a regular air show participant at various European air shows, including Duxford's annual "Flying Legends" show and the annual "Meeting Aerien la Ferte Alais".

File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Flight Replicas P-40N Warhawk. This repaint depicts the restored P-40N 42-105306, registered NL540TP. The aircraft originally served in the Pacific with the 7th FS, 49th FG, and was one of a few P-40's flown by Lt. Ray Melikian. Later, while being flown by Lt. Marion Hawke, the aircraft was substantially damaged when it collided with a P-47 while attempting to land at the Iron Range Repair Depot in Queensland, Australia. The aircraft remained abandoned at the old airfield until being recovered in 1973. The airframe passed through several notable hands over the years before finally being purchased by Chris Prevost in 2000, who had the aircraft shipped to the Sonoma Valley airport where the restoration to airworthy began. Doing much of the work himself, over almost a decade, Prevost flew the aircraft for the first time in January 2009. Fitted with dual controls, the aircraft's original pilot, Ray Melikian, was able to fly the aircraft again. Included with this repaint is a set of updated files for my "Little Jeanne" repaint.

| P51B #43-7061 'Old 7' |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the P-51B/C model for FSX by Warbirdsim. It shows 'Old 7', 43-7061, which was the pride and joy of the 2nd FS/52nd FG. It flew over 125 operational missions, amassing 778 flying hours and shot down at least 8 enemy aircraft, without suffering a single mechanical failure. It was lovingly maintained at first by S/Sgt Vincent Reagan, and later by S/Sgts James Lynes and C.G. Jones. By december 1944, it was the oldest aircraft in the 2nd FS, and it remained so. The officers and men of the 2nd FS were so proud of 'Old 7' that they tried to have her sent to the US for a warbond tour, but the Air Force was not interested. During its long career, it served as the regular mount for Capt. Arthur Johnston (who named it Marie and flew it as QP-M), Capt. William DeForest (when it was changed to Myrtle and QP-7) and Lt. Thomas Hoover, as well as several other pilots. Repaint by JanKees Blom, based on the warbirdsim paintkit.

File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Warbirdsim product 'Mustang Tales'. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-30-NA 44-74391, "February", registered N351MX. This aircraft was delivered to the USAAF on May 23, 1945, too late to see action in WWII. The aircraft served state-side in the post-WWII years, with many different fighter squadrons, including the California and Illinois Air National Guard. In 1958, the aircraft began service with the Guatemalan Air Force, where it remained until 1972 when it was purchased as a civilian flyer and brought back to the U.S. For years the aircraft was stored in Texas until being sold in 2000 and restoration work began. Owned by film maker Chris Woods, the aircraft was restored in the markings of the P-51D that was flown during WWII by fighter ace Lt. James L. "Jim" Brooks, named "February", as part of the 307th FS, 31st FG, based in Italy. In 2009, the aircraft was sold to the Friedkin family/Comanche Fighters warbird collection, based in Texas, and the aircraft has been an active participant of the Horsemen aerobatic team. This repaint features new bump maps, wheel well, gun bay, and cockpit textures.

File Description:
A repaint only for the payware Warbirdsim product 'Mustang Tales'. This repaint depicts the restored P-51D-20-NA 44-72438, "Hell-er Bust", registered N7551T. This specific aircraft is known to have been delivered to the 8th Air Force in England in late January 1945, however no available records indicate any combat time or what, if any, Fighter Group the aircraft was assigned. Following the end of WWII the aircraft served with the Swedish AF as Fv26131, and then with the Dominican AF as FAD 1920. After being imported back into the U.S. in the 1980's, the aircraft was purchased by Selby Burch and given a ground-up restoration. Finished in 118th TRS markings, the aircraft won the Grand Champion WWII Warbird award at Sun 'N Fun 1997. The aircraft was later purchased by Bob Jepson/Lady Alice Corporation and first repainted as 'Lady Alice' and then as 'Hell-er Bust'. In 2006 the aircraft was obtained by the Historic Aircraft Foundation and based at Paine Field, near Seattle, WA. Since 2009, the aircraft has been owned by Mark Peterson/Mustang High Flight LLC, based at Boise, Idaho, and remains finished as 'Hell-er Bust'. The markings depict an original wartime mount of Lt. Col. Edwin L. 'Ed' Heller, a P-51D-10-NA (44-14696) of the 486th FS, 352nd FG. This repaint features new bump maps, wheel well, gun bay, and cockpit textures.

| P-47D 334th FS "Miss Plainfield" |
|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47C 42-7945 flown by Lieutenant Spiros 'the Greek' Pisanos of the 334th FS, 4th FG, Finschhafen, New Guinea, 1944. Born in Athens, Greece, in the suburb of Kolonos, on 10 November 1919, Spiros Nicholas "Steve" Pisanos, the son of a subway motorman, came to America in April 1938, as a crew member on a Greek Merchant ship. Arriving in Baltimore, Maryland and unable to speak English, Steve found his way to New York City, where he worked in bakeries and restaurants. As he earned money he started flying lessons at Floyd Bennett Field. In August 1940, he setled i Plainfield, New Jersey, his adopted home town, and continued flying lessons at Westfield Airport. He earned a private pilot's license and, although still a Greek national, in October 1941 he joined the British Royal Air Force sponsored by the Clayton Knight Committee in New York City.
Steve began his military flight training at Polaris Flight Academy in Glendale, California. Upon graduation, Pilot Officer Pisanos was transferred to England where he completed RAF Officers Training School at Cosford, England and OTU (Operational Training Unit) at Old Sarum Aerodrome in Salisbury. Pilot Officer Pisanos was posted to the 268 Fighter Squadron at Snailwell Aerodrome in Newmarket flying P-51A's. He later transferred to the 71 Eagle Squadron, one of the three Eagle squadrons in the RAF, comprised of American volunteers flyin Spitfires at Debden RAF Aerodrome.
When the USAAF 4th Fighter Group absorbed the American members of the Eagle Squadrons in September and October 1942, Pilot Officer Pisanos was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces. On 3 May 1943, Lt. Pisanos was naturalized as an American citizen in London, England, becoming the first individual in American history to be naturalized outside the Continental United States.
Flying his first mission in his P-47 "Miss Plainfield" out of Debden Aerodrome with the 334th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, Lt. Pisanos, "The Flying Greek," scored his first victory on 21 May 1943, when he downed a German FW-190 over Ghent, Belgium. by 1 January 1944 he had become an ace with five confirmed victories. On 5 March 1944, he obtained his 10th victory and while returning from that B-17 escort mission to Limoges and Bordeaux, France, Steve experienced engine failure in his P-51B and crash-landed south of Le Havre. For six months he evaded the Germans and worked with the French Resistance and the American OSS sabotaging the German war machine in occupied France. Lt. Pisanos returned to England on 2 September 1944, following the liberation of Paris.
Upon returning to the United States, Captain Pisanos was assigned to the Flight Test Division at Wright Field, Ohio. He attended the USAF Test Pilot School and subsequently served as a test pilot at Wright Field and Muroc Lake, California, testing the YP-80 jet aircraft. During his career in the USAF, Steve graduated from the University of Maryland, attended the Air Command and Staff College and the Air War College. In December 1973, after a distinguished thirty years of service in the United States Air Force, he retired with the rank of Colonel. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney
