Sebastien,
If I may, for the press article maybe you could reach UBI (game publisher in France) and get all the permissions you need to use a screen captures. More than likely, UBI will contact Oleg Maddox the owner of (1C) in Russia.
Once you have the missing fuselage code It would not take me long to create a skin, bearing in mind that some one might have photos of Taylor's aircraft.
If you can please post here
31st FG and ask any questions. Many of the participants might be the veterans themselves or family members of the 31st FG.
I will try my best to contact other knowledgeable people.
Good luck
P.S.
I have shared this with a couple of Hitorical friends. One is TOAD a modertor at UBI and he has posted this link to all Admins at the UBI Forums.
Sebastien check your PM you have a note from a friend of mine
