These pix's alway make me ill.

To add to your feelings of nausea, just think what an airworthy one of these remarkable warbirds is worth today.

After the war P-38s were cheep....not a dime a dozen but.....1250 bucks each... full of av gas with practically no time on em'. The line of buyers was short.

stumbled in to this collection in Minnesota a few years ago...WOW.
Fagen Fighters & Warhawks, Inc. - Pilots
Last time I went past, I noticed the new hangar and thought to myself, that thing looks solid...sure enough, it's tornado "proof". There is a lot of money sitting out there...a long way from any big town.

I could be wrong, but aren't these those bombers made of laminated wood? Very hard to recycle.

Mosquito's had a lot of wood in them...not aware of any other allied WWII aircraft w/ remarkable volumes of wood.

I'm sure you're right. What do I know?

I'm going back to the panty thread now.

Dottore,

The aircraft burning in the images were Lockheed P 38s. Fighters. (See Hawkeye's pic above.

As mentioned above, the 'Mossie' was built of ply as were some of the little Hudson bombers.
