Click here for hints on using this site; for my "easy" photo use policy; and my disclaimer.
I have many old original black and white 8x10's and slides of warbirds and other aircraft in my collection, and will be posting them from time to time. All are for sale. Scans will continue to be posted on this site after the prints are sold.
Aircraft are posted below by military serial number, with the unidentified ones first. Click on the links to see the photo. I don't have the serial number on some but they are interesting photos so I'm posting them anyway. I welcome your comments and further details on these aircraft. Contact me. Scans will remain on this site after the prints are sold.
