In the photo in which Bong and two others pose in front of a P-38 with 21 victories under the number 79 on the nose, a serial number partially covered by the 79 (you have to wear good glasses) can be seen in a color that could be yellow with the sequence 356? or 1356? (page 58 of the book 49th FG of Squadron Signal)

Thanks to all of you for your collaboration. Since there are no photos, I still have doubts, although you have reduced them to me. For the period in which he had 16 victories (November 1943) it is clear that the star insignia in a blue circle should no longer be used (The profile of the plane that appears like this in 49 Th F,G of Squadron Signal does not indicate either date or victories) In this book Bong appears with another 79 aircraft but it does not have the same factory number and has 21 victories The decal set of Aero Master "US Top guns" (4266847 with 16 kills) has the bars outlined in blue, The Tally-Ho decals propose insignia with plain white bars... According to the modeler's Murphy's law, the option that I choose will be the wrong one...

I am looking for information, preferably photographs of the P-38 h (white 79) of Richard Ira Bong (42-66847) with 16 victories, specifically of the tail booms ,where the national insignia appears. I've seen: Profiles with the insignia blue circle and white star Profiles with blue circle insignia, white star and two white bars (not outlined) Profiles with the standard insignia of the end of the war: blue circle insignia, white star and two white bars , outlined in blue. Can someone clarify what would be the correct type of badge?

Sorry... MK. VI

I 'm going to build the Airfix CromwelMK.IV CS and I would like to know if there is any picture of the tank with scheme A. 1st Czech. Independent brigade with green and black camo. Thanks in advance

The Curtiss 81 (P 40 B )of the AVG, did they carry Walkways on their wings? Normally they are represented without the walkways, but in a photograph of No. 77 I can see a worn one.( Tigers over China,. Eagle Files, page 78)

Was the uniform of the Jagdpanther crew black, like those of panzer, or feldgrau, like those of self-propelled gunner guns? Thanks

I always thought it was silver, and the black and white photos show reflections in the light areas. However, in the profiles of the May 2020 magazine of Scale Aircraft Modeling, it indicates that it is white. (?). Thanks for your clarifications

The Gloster Gladiator MKII of the Swedish volunteers employed in the winter war, wore their camo in green and silver or, as I have read, recently in green and white? . Tanks

In a well-known color photo of the Typhoon HH-N, two bombs appear with their front part painted white. Is this color due to any reason? Thanks

Anyone have any photo or drawing of the back side of the entry hatch for the crew of the Dornier Do 17 Z ?

The Russian page about Safonov has been very useful to me. Although the translation from Russian into Spanish with the Google translator is a bit difficult to understand, I have been able to reach several conclusions. 1 the plane with white No. 11 is not from Sofonov, but from Kovalenko, the confusion is due to Safonov being photographed next to that plane. 2 the airplane with number 11, had on the right side the text "for communism", although I do not think there are photos of that side, as described in a 1941 magazine

Exist any picture of the right side of I-16 Type 24 by Boris Safanov? (no profiles)

It really disappointed me. The book seems to have not been reviewed by the editor. On page 242 dedicated to the external colors of Soviet aircraft from 1937 to 1940 ... only three reference colors are printed. They have forgotten to print 11 colors. This unforgivable oblivion ruins the part of the book dedicated to the aircraft of the USSR. Possibly the one that interested me most for being the most unknown. In April I wrote an email to the editor and I received no response. These mistakes cannot be forgiven in a book that is not cheap
