Boom Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Just looking at that painting by Postlethwaite, it really does say something about the poor aircraft recognition by the Allies. Here we have an aircraft (the P-40) that every American fighter pilot would have done some flight training on. It's fighting in a sky filled with enemy 'radial' engined aircraft over the Solomons and Rabaul. No New Zealand fighter squadrons served over New Guinea. And yet it still has to be garishly in white to avoid friendly fire incidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Cross was one of the prime artists used by Airfix back in their heyday in the 1970's for their model artwork. Have very fond memories spending a christmas holiday by the beach building this model. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
