Hi gang

sorry to bump this one but this thread reminded me of a few Putnam books I had stored away in a box for 10 years now and I didn’t miss them to be honest – therefore I decided to part with them by offering them here instead of putting them on ebay. They are in very good condition incl. dustjackets. Offers via PM please.

1) De Havilland Aircraft since 1909; 1987 edition; 1994 reprint
2) Handley Page Aircraft since 1907; 1987 edition
3) Curtiss Aircraft 1907 – 1947; 1979 edition; 1987 reprint
4) Lockheed Aircraft since 1913; 1987 edition
5) McDonnell Douglas Aircraft since 1920: Volume 1; 1988 edition
6) Aircraft of the Royal Air Force since 1918; 1988 edition
7) United States Military Aircaft since 1909; 1989 edition

and as a special treat (good condition, too, incl. dustjacket)

8) Fokker – The Creative Years; 1965 (!) edition

Please be aware that the books will be shipped from Switzerland, i.e. some postage will also occur.

Hi

the bomb racks of the P-51 could both be used for bombs and external fuel tanks – there were no provisions for any centerline stores, as already said by landyman.

Not very familiar with 617 Sqdn, I assume that when, as you said, the ‘borrowed’ Mustang was used on several occasions, it received some sort of RAF markings.

My question here in fact is why ‘borrowing’ a P-51 from the USAAF when the RAF had Mustangs (Merlin engined) in their inventory, too ?

Just my 2 cents

Hi

a German (language) site of a friend of mine with many photos of the German TT Sea Furies in action – It will soon be reworked and updated containing many more such photos I have provided from my own collection.
