File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-21 42-25569 4K-R 'The Blond Angel', the aircraft flown by Major Hal Shook, the C.O. of the 506th FS/404th FG. He finished the war with 105 combat flights. When the 404th first converted to P-47's, it received a number of brand new bare metal 22 models, but also a number of older C and D models, in OD paint. It was decided to concentrate those in one squadron and flipped a coin for the squadron. maj. Shook lost and consequently, the 506th FS started the war with the older, camouflaged aircraft and only received newer models later. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

|
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-23-RA 42-27910 #40 "Hun Hunter XIV", as flown by Lt.Col Gilbert O. Wynand Jr, the CO of the 65th FS/ 57th FG, based in Alto, Corsica. He was more or less responsible for converting the P-47 from a high-altitude fighter to a very efficient ground attack aircraft, which was used to great effect during operation Strangle, where the German supply lines in Italy were completly cut off by destroying all railways, bridges and roads leading to the front in middle Italy.

File Description:
This repaint is for the A2A Wings of Power 3 Spitfire MkIIb and represents the Spitfire Mk.Vb BM124 LO-W 602 Sqn (City of Glasgow. Queen Salote, an aircraft flown by Wing Commander Brendan Eamonn Fergus Finucane. Known as Paddy Finucane, he was an Irish Royal Air Force fighter pilot, who was a high scoring Second World War flying ace claiming 26 victories, plus six shared and was the RAF's youngest Wing Commander in its history. He was killed at the age of 21 on 15 July 1942, when he was leading the Hornchurch Wing in a fighter "Ramrod" operation targeting a German army camp at Etaples, France. Photographs show the plane was incorrectly named "Queen Of Salote" but were later altered by scratching out the word "Of" on the negatives in an effort to correct this.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-15-RE 42-76181 B4-X "Special Delivery", the aircraft of Lt. Samuel "Sack"Saunders of the 388th FS/ 365th FG. Lt. Saunders came from Wellington, Kansas, and was one of everybody's favorite pilots, always smiling, very sharp and a leader when flying. He shared one victory over an Me 109 with Andy Smoak when the squadron was jumped by Germans on August 19, 1944, and had a solo victory over an FW190 during the turkey shoot on October 21. He chased the 190 over 50 miles before hitting it in the nose, causing the ammunition to explode and the pilot to bail out. "Special Delivery" was destroyed on the ground during operation Bodenplatte, the luftwaffe attack on January 1, 1945. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-10-DL 42-37761 OR-L "Blue Dreams" of the 323rd BS/ 91st BG, based in Bassingbourne, UK. "Blue Dreams" was assigned to Captain Ken McFarland and his crew, and was painted by Corporal Tony Starcer, with the december pin-up by Alberto varga. When the crew found out that their captain's wife was pregnant, they had Starcer paint a stork and baby below the pilots window (without McFarlane knowing), adding the name 'Mona Gail'after the birth of his daughter. The aircraft would go on to complete 29 missions with the group, before being written off due to an unfortunate oversight by another crew. Shortly after taking off for a flight to Berlin, on the 6th of March 1944, the pilot, Lt Walter Wilkinson, noticed fuel streaming from the starboard wing. He decided to land immediately, in the hope of quickly solving the problem and rejoining the mission. The nearest airfield was the 355th FG's base at Steeple Morden, close to Bassingbourne, and he decided to land there. He lined up with the runway and slowly descended the heavily laden bomber, going for a smooth as possible landing. What came was different, since the crew had forgotten to lower the landing gear, and "Blue Dreams" screeched of the runway and into the grass. The crew evacuated the wrecked aircraft as quickly as they could, but fortunately, the bombs in the bomb-bay did not explode. "Blue Dreams" would not fly again, and was salvaged the following day. The subsequent accident report revealed that the pilot had flown 8 exhaustive missions in the previous two weeks. This time nobody was hurt, but it would be a different story 10 months later, when another 91st B-17 forcelanded at Steeple Morden...

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-E) "Shoo shoo shoo baby" restored |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-35-BO 42-32076, the former "Shoo shoo shoo baby". In 1968, the ancestry of F-BGSH, an old B-17 languishing in derelict state on Creil Airfield in France, was discovered by the Australian aviation historian Steve Birdsall, who notified the USAF museum that this was a combat veteran that had flown operational missions, in contrast to most other surviving B-17's. Following negotiations, the B-17 was donated to the US by the French Government. Interestingly, its Swedish heritage attracted interest from Sweden as well, but nothing came of this. The aircraft was disassembled at Creil and trucked to Frankfurt and flown to the US in 1972, where it arrived, packed in 27 crates. No plans or funds for restoration were present at the time, but in 1977, Mike Leiston, a technician at Dover AFB contacted the museum about the possibility of restoring one of the museum's aircraft by volunteers at Dover AFB. With project approved, 42-32076 was transported to Dover, with the aim of restoring it to a stock wartime B-17G. Upon arrival, Paul McDuffee, who had flown her for 13 missions, was present, and the reunion was clearly an emotional one as he commented "I've just got to go over and kiss her", which he did.
The restoration continued to 1988,and after some 60.000 ma hours, "Shoo shoo shoo baby"took to the skies again for the first time on 11 september. On 14 october 1988, she flew for the last time, to the USAF museum near Dayton, Ohio, where she can still be seen. The main difference with her wartime looks is the fact that she currently sports an olive drab camouflage paint, which was necessary due to all the metal work needed to bring her back to a stock B-17G condition. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-22-RE 42-26386 D5-O "Sally Flat Foot III", the assigned aircraft of Lt William Ward of the 386th FS/ 365th FG. The first 365th FG pilot to report for duty, Bill Ward also had the distinction of leading the group on its last combat mission, a patrol flight on 8 May 1945. He scored to kills over Me109's, one marked with the German cross below the cockpit, scored on 22 june 1944, and another later in 1944, but that never made it into the 365th history books, hence the question mark. All lt Ward's Thunderbolts were called Sally Flat Foot, a nickname for his wife Sally. The third one also had a picture of a bird on the nose he referred to as 'the worry bird'. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored Noorduyn-built Harvard Mk.IIb c/n 14A-1106, owned/operated by John Rayner, based in Australia, and registered as VH-TXN. This aircraft originally served with the RCAF during WWII as FS966, training Commonwealth pilots in the Empire Air Training Scheme in Canada, and from 1946 until 1969 served in the Swedish AF as Sk 16A #16077. Traded from the Swedish AF Museum in 1980 to an Australian collector, the aircraft was later purchased by John Rayner in 1994 and fully restored. The aircraft is painted in the markings of one of the three Harvards supplied to RAF 239 Wing (comprising of RAAF (Australian) 3 & 450 Squadrons and RAF (British) 112 & 250 Squadrons), based in North Africa in 1942, for "Wing Training" - general duties of which included providing check-out flights for new pilots and providing ferrying capability for pilots to pick up replacement aircraft.

File Description:
B-17G-55-BO 42-102550 of the 452nd BG. 42-102550 crashed on November 29, 1944, at Charlotte, North Carolina. Icy conditions caused the new B-17 to skid off the end of the runway and come to rest on the Southern Railway tracks as train was approaching. Crew No. 590 of Squadron "S" of the 326th base Unit training pout of MacDill. Irony is they just won "Crew of the Month" so they were allowed to fly anywhere they wanted to, so for their reward, they flew to Charlotte N.C. No injuries, the crew landed long and overran the end of the runway. A great story with a local woman who put a broom in a fire so it could be used to flag down an oncoming train! The plane had to be destroyed to get it off the tracks and the military split up the crew as punishment.
