    Hello Thomas, I have contacted my friend Jean Yves Lorant, author of a set of 2 volumes on the JG 300 (searching the subject for more some 25 years) , and he is adamant that this plane was "Green 7" from the 11/JG 300. Regards, Laurent

    No problem for me, François. Thank you for your message. Laurent

    Please, let me know where the author of the original post (which was not you, if i'm not mistaken) specified "before VE-Day" in his query. Have a good day.

    The original post was refering to the use of cushions in the ETO and the MTO. Taken In August 1945, this picture shows a P-51D in the ETO. Conflict ended on September 2nd, 1945. Please, be careful!

    yes, it was used in the ETO alamy the crewman on the wing is holding one in this 1945 picture. Laurent

    In fact those B-17s were being assembled by Douglas. The anti-glare paint on the nacelles is typical of Douglas built ones. They are probably B-17G-40DL or 45DL. Laurent

    Parts that are spot-welded need to be cleaned with acid. You can find the explaination in one of the pictures in the wing section of this page https://www.aircorpsaviation.com/september-october-dakota-territory-air-museum-p-47-update-2/ Laurent

    Also found this letter in my files, probably from Charles Neely also.

    I had totally forgotten I had an incomplete F-82 parts catalog, and the engine cowlings page confirms that most of the panels for the P-82B are the same than those used on the P-51H. All the panels with the part number starting with "117" were both used on P-82B and P-51H. Using the 3 view drawings from P-51H and P-82b manual, there is a difference in length of the nose of about 49 centimeters between the wing leading edge and the firewall, the P-82B being longer. HTH, Laurent
