Correct serial is 42-34023. Fairchild developed the PT-19 in 1938 to satisfy a military requirement for a rugged monoplane primary trainer and it went into quantity production in 1940. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

This P-40 is actually a Kittyhawk export version of the P-40E. She served with the RAF as AK987 and then the RCAF as 1068. It is on display at the National Museum of the USAF as the aircraft flown by then Col. Bruce Holloway, a pilot in both the Flying Tigers and its successor Army Air Forces unit, the 23rd Fighter Group. Registered as N1237N in 1947 and N5673N in 1948m and registration cancelled in 1972.

This shot gives some idea of the size of the truely cavernous halls that comprise the National Museum of the USAF as even a B-52 is dwarfed. This B-52 is a Vietnam veteran and was severely damaged by an enemy surface-to-air missile on 9th April, 1972. It arrived for display in Nov. 1978.

In 1922 the Eberhart Steel Products Co. received a contract to rebuild 50 of the Army Air Service's SE-5A aircraft using 180-hp Wright-Hispano "E" engines, subsequently redesignated the SE-5E and were used by the AAS for advanced training. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is painted to represent an SE-5E of the 18th Headquarters Squadron, Bolling Field, Washington, DC in 1925.

'City of Sacramento' on display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the USAF. This EC-121 entered the history books on Oct. 24, 1967 over the Gulf of Tonkin as it guided a US fighter into position to destroy a MiG-21. This action marked the first time a weapons controller aboard an airborne radar aircraft had ever directed a successful attack on an enemy plane.

This Thud was delivered in 1964 as a standard F-105F and subsequently joined the 355th TFW in combat missions over Vietnam claiming three MiG kills. In 1970 it was fitted with ECM equipment and joined the 388th TFW for 'Wild Weasel' duty attacking enemy SAM sites. In 1972 the aircraft was modified to the improved F-105G configuration and is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings worn while assigned to the 561st TFS based at Korat Royal AFB, Thailand in 1972-73.

The RF-101 was the first supersonic photo-reconnaisance aircraft and this particular example was one of the planes responsible for obtaining the images confirming that the missiles sites were being dismantled and so brought an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It subsequently served with the 45th TRS in Southeast Asia and then the 153rd TRS at Key Field, MS from where it was ferried to the National Museum of the USAF during Oct. 78 for display.

The RF-101 was the first supersonic photo-reconnaisance aircraft and this particular example was one of the planes responsible for obtaining the images confirming that the missiles sites were being dismantled and so brought an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It subsequently served with the 45th TRS in Southeast Asia and then the 153rd TRS at Key Field, MS from where it was ferried to the National Museum of the USAF during Oct. 78 for display.

This A-7 was flown on 18th Nov. 1972 by Maj. Colin A. Clarke on a nine-hour rescue support mission in SE Asia for which he received the Air Force Cross. This aircraft arrived at the National Museum of the USAF for display in 1992. The Skywarrior in the background is one of the few regrets about my visit to NMUSAF as I just couldn't get a shot of it that I was happy with.

This George is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is one of only three extant restored examples. It is a fighter-bomber variant equipped with wing mounts to carry bombs and is painted as an aircraft in the Yokosuka Kokutai, an evaluation and test unit similar in function to the USAAF's Flight Test Unit at Wright Field.

With a short take-off capability and a powerful rate of climb the CF-100 was ideal as an interceptor and so formed an integral part of the US-Canadian North American Air Defense (NORAD) system. This Canuck is painted to appear as a 428 Squadron Mk.4A from the mid-1950s and is now on display at the National Museum of the USAF.
