    I recently pick these up at a sale of a former WW2 Vets home he himself was a pilot. These are a group of some of the photos I aquired originals of the planes. I was able to ID the P-51 Mustangs but the others im not sure of the plane models. The really neat part is the one of the P51 that has the name " Big Beautiful Doll" I found out this was a very famous fighter plane in the war and its pilot was one of the US Aces. The other cool plane is the green one with nose art and named " Mackie" it has a bomb on the bottom that says " Yanks Greetings" "to Cpl. HITLER. I was hoping someone couls help me ID all the planes other than the mustangs.

      Great pics! Photo 3 appears to be a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt dating to before the switch to a "bubbletop" canopy in 1944. The four-engine bombers are B-17s - not enough detail to tell which models. Not sure about the twin engine plane.

      Also backs are stamped " Passed for Personal Use only. Not for Publication. Station censor f-357.

      On second look, the twin engine plane has to be a P-38 Lightning. The guns are all clustered in the nose and you can make out the horizontal stabilizer spanning between the twin fuselage booms.

      I finally got it. The P-51 is one of the original " Big Beautiful Doll" planes he flew. I was finally able to find a photo of him in this exact plane. Also in the photo you can see under the window Cpl. J.D.Landers. I didnt realize how decorated of a pilot he was and how much this plane has been made into many replica plane models and such now im happy.
