I need to get time to get the A6M5 nightfighter project back on track with Oldwheat if he's still interested, I'd like to see:
A6M1 Zero- this is the very first operational Zero with cooling louvers. This plane was captured by Claire Chennault in China 8 months or so before the Model 21 was captured in the Aleutians and available but ignored.
Me262 prototype- This was 262 with tailwheel and not the nosewheel. I believe Trautlauf advised Adolf Galland to tread the brakes real hard on take-off to get the tail up for lift on take-off. Be a cool plane to play with.
