View Quote there are free programs, some that are not that much , and others that are expensive. I think adobe charges a monthly fee now for their latest offerings. not sure if contract related or not. colorising video is a whole another ballgame. |

Here’s a picture of one of the pieces I own. It’s part of the leading edge of the wing. Specifically where outboard MG-151 or Mk-108 was omitted from the A-8 wing to the D-9 wing.

Not really a WWII pic, but it’s of a man that flew 97 missions over The Hump, the map is of the CBI with headings and radio check points.
Before anyone says something about his flag not being displayed properly, I need to get a wire hanger mounted on back and then hang it. Dad passed away 2 years ago and mom had just given me the flag last week. Attached File |
