Discussion and photos relating to WWII aviation.
Rules
Be civil and respectful to each other.
Historical images that have been manipulated (colorized, upscaled, or otherwise edited) must be tagged and include a watermark on the image itself. This requirement can be satisfied by, for example, putting a small text annotation in one corner, or with your personal logo. For the rationale for this rule, see here
This rule is not meant to restrict images with period edits, such as censor marks or original hand tinting
Russian URLs banned by reddit:
Some domains, especially .ru domains, will trip Reddit's comment spam filter, even with the filter set to 'low'. This includes many Russian aviation sites like ava org ru, topwar ru, and aviadejavu ru. To the best of my knowledge I have no way to disable this, or even to manually approve these posts once they appear in the spam queue.
If you plan to reference these to these, you'll need to do so without linking them.

I was wondering around when did the usa stopped painting its bombers and left them aluminium colour? I was thinking somewhere between April and may 1944. Does anyone knows?
Hey all,
Wanted to ask the community if you all would have an interest in me posting regular updates and "on this day" posts on my project. I have spent the last 10 years researching a local Tuskegee Airman who went MIA, and finally have learned most everything I've been looking for. I plan to make a flying tribute to he and his P-51. I have his flight logs, and could post updates about them as they occurred #OTD. Also could update as my project progresses, and if I learn anything new. I have a basic website set-up, which I used to run more as a blog (working on an upgrade in the near future.) Also has links to all my social media pages too (where I make regular posts about the project.)

If there's interest from people, I'd love to post more here! Thanks!
A couple of weeks ago I had found some RAF Pilot's Notes at a flea market (Sea Fury 10&11; Corsair I-IV; Mustang III) and people seemed interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/WWIIplanes/comments/1fmrtq2/rather_chuffed_i_picked_up_these_three_for_5_at_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I scanned the Sea Fury notes https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z5YiWifct4X9zohgYtMlY4_j67HvWvLY/view?usp=sharing and have finally (work pressure!) had time to scan the Corsair notes.
These can be downloaded at

I'm going to scan the Mustang notes too.
These are not original but are facsimiles (probably from the 1970s)
I have also just acquired (from the same stall) notes for Spitfire (IIA and IIB) and Typhoon 1A and 1B.
Watch this space!
I'm making an art piece for a Veterans Day art show and need full reference photos of this type of plane preferably flying. This is a pic of my great grandfather's plane that he flew in WWII. I will be posting this in other groups as I need answers asap. Thank you!
