Re: In desesperate need of a P-51B profile
Hi all,
To all skinners and artists, just a little post to warn you to keep your templates "alive", I mean to stay ready to modificate them... I assume you all do that, but who knows. Two reasons for me to ask you that :
- 1st : I am in contact with Mr Loving hismelf, and forwarded him our thread, so I guess he would be happy if he received sketches of his own plane, even if he didn't ask at that point. You know, he is a very kind man, and has helped a lot. It is a great privilege for us, isn't it, to rely on such a man, former pilot and ace of the 309th.
- 2nd : Thanks to Mr Loving, I'm in contact with our pilot, "Don" Taylor. He is the one who informed us that his plane was "WZ-I" that day. He has no computer, but promised to send by mail any personal stuff, pics and so on, that could be of interest. That may take a few days, so stay in touch. He could also confirm - or not - our witness point of view about the ditching event, especially about the "large flames" he has seen before the crash. that is a precious matter, especially for you Simplex.
A last thing : I plan to send Mr. "Don" Taylor a complete interview, as he said to Mr Loving he would be glad to answer our inquiries. That won't be ready before tomorrow, so if you think about any specific question you would like to be answered, feel free to post them here or to e-mail them to me (you can send your own mail using private messages here).
Cheers.
