    As for location, this is whats known.

    The B-29 is Kee Bird located in northern Greenland (now a wreck. The aircraft is well known, I just never saw this picture before and thought it looked like a Pacific location).

    The Latécoère 25 is in Patagonia Argentinian.

    The A-26 is near Valley Mills Texas.

    A lady in Texas bought 400 acres of land and found this A-26 (as far as I can see).

    Those pictures got me searching for more (not the first time) and I found another one, that I have not seen before.

    Located in a Natural Reserve on the Province of Chubut, Argentinian Patagonia. Its a Latécoère 25 and the picture was taken in 2004.

    Ok, it just didn’t look like Greenland to me.

    There are more WWII film footage (thats the actual term) that you could even begin to imagine. The problem might be, that its mostly unedited and uncategorised, so users have to trawl through hours upon hours of these films in order to find a useful clip.

    Documentaries, like alomst everything else, are made on a budget that don’t support this kind of research, so they often use known clips.

    Hopefully we will soon see these libraries online, so enthusiasts can help in categorising the content. Thus making them more useful for documentary makers.

    May I suggest the Lloyd B.

    Apparently an observer perched up in the raised nose, which I guess was a very fine place to observe things. However, this practicality is somewhat deminished by completely obstructing the pilots forward field of vision….well before the days of instrument landings.

    PICTURE HOST DOWN..PLEASE WAIT!

    Regarding the Me 410; isn’t it a shame, that out of only two survivors, one is still awaiting restoration in the Paul E. Garber Storage Facility….

    You would think there was some kind of priority on such a rare aircraft…

    This is also true. How about this then ? Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender

    The “Ass-ender”; Yes, that contraption is so ugly it could make people blind.

    The Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet)

    Its all about taste, I think the Me 410 is a fine looking bird.

    Yes, i didn’t really realise, that the Gipsy III was so different to the I and II.

    A hard one, but good effort alround.

    Guess Pagen01 has control.

    I think its a hanging gipsy if anything. Although i have not found a Bluebird IV with such an engine installation.

    The cowling on the Gipsy engined Bluebidr IV looks different, so its either not a Gipsy, or a model with another cowling.
