Might inquire at the Canada Aviation Museum, as their Hind came from former Afghan service. Their link is

Yes, your PC should be able to do that, or if not as it stands, download a little reader utility. You might even be able to convert it to NTSC depending on your software/hardware combo and burn a DVD so you can use your DVD player/TV

It is a dangerous business, moresoever in jets.

Here is the link to Starfighters. Cool site. They even have a paper model of a 104 you can download and build.

Yes, Rudel’s account is mostly Eastern front with a good deal of it involving hunting tanks, getting shot down several times, even “fishing” with a Stuka. I believe it is about the best Eastern front aviation book I have come across.

Google is a wonderful tool. Dangerous, but wonderful. Didn’t get a hit on the whole number/letter mess, so broke it into the first bit with bullet and the last bit as bullet and got a hit(so to speak).

So who is hunting your chickens with blanks? Roosters bothering some neighboor too early in the morning?!:diablo:

My old boss was a P-40 pilot with the Free Dutch AF, whe came in at about 6’2″ later transitioning to P-51s( said those were a bit tight to fit in. It helps to be big when muscling a heavy warbird in High-G combat. Of course when he and another large friend took a Cub for a romp in Australia, maxing out the poor things limit, he got in trouble when he took it up a blind canyon and ran out of air space. Too much size in an airframe is not a good thing.

One for the B-17 man! I have seen a maximum crew load on the side of the A/C stating 1200 lbs. At a 10 man crew, if my math is working, leaves only 120 per crew man! Is that weight load mearly a suggestion? I know the ball turret operator had to be small!!!

Here is EBay’s message…pretty paranoid if you ask me…
