I am actually putting some together for when the new TE comes out. I want to re-build a Burma map I made. I am thinking I could possibly use some skins from AH1 but now with higher resolution pictures, could make them look a whole  lot better.
Mainly looking for 14th FG pictures, but hard to work off of black and white photo's. Also I dont even know where to begin when looking for Japanese fighters/bombers in that area.

Just clarifying.  14th FG was a P38 group in the Med not Burma.  Not sure if your 14th interest coincides with the Burma map you are talking about.

there were a few squadrons operating 38s in Burma, 449th and 459th FS were two of them.

Those are helpful pics, what I really need though is to know how Japanese planes in that Area might have been painted.
