greggles.w Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 A reminder of the important work done by floatplanes, in this case the subject of two builds in this group (at time of writing): the Vought Kingfisher. From US Coastguard Facebook posting today: ”17 September, 1944. 58 hours earlier, cutters Jackson and Bedloe went down in a hurricane/massive storm with 47 souls after safely escorting a torpedoed Liberty ship to Norfolk, VA. Pictured here are some of the 20 survivors of the cutter Jackson awaiting the arrival of a Coast Guard rescue ship aboard one of the USCG Kingfisher scout planes that found them. Seventeen men were lost to the elements in the hours after the sinking. https://coastguard.dodlive.mil/2018/06/the-long-blue-line-jacksons-battle-with-the-rogue-waves-of-44/“ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Found an article on a Boeing 314 Clipper that Accidentally Flew Around the World just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hm, I've always had a hankering for that Airfix 1/144 Clipper... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least two kits (Anigrand resin and Combat Model vacu - very rough). Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
