Delivered to the USAAF as 44-84961. Sold as N7715C in 1958. Modified for racing in 1967. Rebuilt as an RB-51 racer and first flew as such in 1975. Crashed while racing at Reno, NV in 1979. Rebuilt as a P-51D using 44-73053 which had come from the Indonesian Air Force and flew again in 1985. Current on the register in 2025.

Delivered to the USAAF as B-25J 44-30606. Converted to a TB-25J then to a TB-25N. Registered as N5249V then N201L in 1958. Current on the register in 2025.

Reported as both 42-4949 and 42-19027 both of which were recovered by David Tallichet in the early 70s. Under restoration at Planes of Fame Air Museum. The long length of the rear-retracting, non-steering nosewheel can be seen. The gaps in the wing root are for the oil cooler and radiator intakes. The automobile type door frame is visible. This model was fitted with the V-1710-85 engine and a slightly larger Aeroproducts propeller, but it made little difference to the low top speed, rate of climb and poor performance at higher altitudes.

Inside Planes of Fame Air Museum's B-17G under restoration. This aircraft was delivered as 44-83684 on 7 May 1945, too late to see action in WW2. It went into storage in Texas and was converted to a DB-17G drone director aircraft to control radio-operated QB-17 target aircraft. In this role it participated in the 1951 Op Greenhouse nuclear tests and flew the last operational mission for the USAF on 6 Aug 1959. The staggered waist gun positions can be seen with the starboard gun moved forward by three fuselage frames. The seated Plexiglas windows afforded more comfort at combat altitude.

First delivered to American Airlines as NC25629 "Flagship Kingsport" in July 1940, it served until 1949. It then briefly flew for Capitol Airways Inc. before passing to Ozark Air Lines Inc. who in 1957 re-registered it N137D. Retired by Ozark in 1967 it then passed through the hands of a number of corporate owners, including Air Exec (short for Air Executive Co.). This Ontario, CA based company, founded by James Webb and Russell Meek, was operational in the early 1970s. The aircraft was officially re-registered N29MA in December 1979, but that registration was never applied. It remained stored at Chino as N137D, which was still visible on the left-hand side of the fuselage at the time of this photo.

The last Douglas Skyshark (of 12 built) was saved from fire practice destruction by the Planes of Fame Museum. Displayed for years with a pointed nose replacing missing engines and props, it was sold to long time museum volunteer John Muszala in 1976. Mr. Muszala's warbird restoration company "Pacific Fighters" slowly replaced missing panels and a surprise finding of A2D propellers at a junkyard saw the aircraft take shape at Chino, Ca and Idaho Falls, ID when the company re-located in 1996. The restored aircraft is on display at the San Diego Air and Space Museum Annex at Gillespie Field.

Shusui (Swinging Sword) on display at Planes of Fame Air Museum. Japan acquired manufacturing rights for the Me-163 but no intact examples reached, all being sunk aboard submarines. A single engine and instruction manual reached Japan, which managed to construct a functional copy within months. MXY8 Akigusa training gliders were completed, and the prototype J8M1 powered by a Toko Ro.2 rocket motor took to the air on 7 Jul 1945 but crashed after the engine flamed out, killing the pilot. The 900 kmh interceptor would have been armed with two wing-mounted 30mm cannon and flown by 312 Kokutai.
