THE LAST DAY OF WORLD WAR II

by Tom Cleaver on August 15, 2023 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

The first quarter moon hung in the western sky gleaming dimly through scattered clouds over the Pacific; the moonlight sufficient to illuminate the many wakes of the huge formation of ships below. At 0300 hours, an observer would have [...]

by Emmet Molloy on August 15, 2023 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

I had built this quite a while ago but did not like the orange peel in the paint so I got rid of it and bought this one which took me about four days. Krylon matte midnight ink spray paint bought at Lowe’s. Supposedly the way they looked [...]

Speak my name and I shall live forever: Jim Sullivan Memorial

by Spiros Pendedekas on August 14, 2023 · in Aviation · 56 ≡

Designed as a successor to the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat’s origins can be traced back in 1938, with the contract for the prototype XF6F-1 signed on 30 June 1941. Instead of the Wildcat's narrow-track, hand-cranked, main landing gear [...]
