P-61C/F-15A Reporter Cowlings

[Iain Ogilvie]

Hi all,

Researching the above - especially the exhaust area/intake at the front/bottom of the booms.

Have found some reasonable photos in books/online - but need photos/details of the vents on the sides of these sections?

Also - was there only one exhaust type at the rear of these fairings (have a good photo of a P-61C)?

Finally - prop spinner - was this the same across all the P-61/F-15 family - or were those on the P-61C/F-15A slightly larger in diameter?

Any pointers/help appreciated!

Iain

Hello, the aviation museum in Pennsylvania called the Mid Atlantic Aviation Museum is restoring a P-61 and they may be able to help you with photos of what you need, I'm sure if you wouldn't mind giving them a small donation someone there should be able to helpwith your request and they would appreciate the help in their restoration help on the P-61 as they intend to get it to flying condition .
