Please consider uploading your own photos.
Photos of roadside warbirds and museum collections are most welcome.
Photos of aircraft as they are currently displayed are great, but photos of airframes in previous markings, with past owners or during a restoration are fantastic as well. You can help document the history of airframes with photos!

Photo Date: Circa 30 August 1947 Credit: Harold G. Martin via Timothy Weinschenker Date Uploaded: 6 October 2019 Airframe: North American A-36A Apache, s/n 42-83769 USAAF, c/n 97-15987, c/r N4E {1} Notes: Woody Edmondson flew this A-36 Mustang in the 1947 Thompson Trophy race. It would be a disaster for Woody as the engine failed and Woody was forced to make an emergency landing in which he was seriously injured. Of note is the open clamshell doors of the landing gear with the engine running. This was a unique characteristic of the A-36.

Cleland and his F2G Corsairs saw to that! Airframe Dossier - Location Dossier View other photos by Timothy Weinschenker as the... Photographer - Uploader - Both |

Photo Date: In 1947 Credit: Pete Bowers via Timothy Weinschenker Date Uploaded: 6 October 2019 Airframe: North American P-51D-20-NA Mustang, s/n 44-63576 USAAF, c/n 122-31302, c/r N51DH Notes: Paul Penrose was the pilot in 1947 of Ron Freemans Mustang named Wraith. This was the same Mustang flown by Wheaties Welch in the 1946 Thompson Trophy race. Like Welch, Penrose would be a DNF in the 1947 Thompson. The victim of supercharger surging.

Photo Date: Circa 30 August 1947 Credit: Leo J. Kohn via Timothy Weinschenker Date Uploaded: 6 October 2019 Airframe: Bell P-63C-5-BE Kingcobra, s/n 44-4227 USAAF, c/r N63941 Notes: 1947 would be a mechanical carnage for the Unlimited Class at Cleveland on Labor Day Weekend. The problems started before the races started with planes being lost during practice for qualifying. One of the casualties was this P-63 that was flown by Raymond Eiche. The Lucky Jack was anything but lucky as EIche was forced to abandon the airplane during practice. Eiche survived but the plane was destroyed. A piece of the wreckage now survives at the Liberty Air Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio. Airframe Dossier - Location Dossier View other photos by Timothy Weinschenker as the...

Photo Date: In 1947 Credit: Bruce Fraites via Timothy Weinschenker Date Uploaded: 6 October 2019 Airframe: Lockheed P-38F-15-LO Lightning, s/n 43-2181 USAAF, c/n 322-3290, c/r N5101N Notes: Another photo of Glenn McCarthys Flying Shamrock prior to the start of the 1947 Bendix. The loss of this airplane during the Bendix has certainly added to some of the difficulties historians have faced trying to get the true story of this airplane. Many of the modifications have been misinterpreted over the years. Airframe Dossier - Location Dossier View other photos by Timothy Weinschenker as the... Photographer - Uploader - Both |
