Author Topic: Looking for Good WW2 in the Air Web Sites (Read 299 times)

Hello All --

I am in the process of updating my World War II in the air links page, "The Control Tower" http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/World_War_II_Aviation_Link.html
I believe it is one of the most extensive listing on the net. You can help mane it even better

I would appreciate recommendations from the denizens of this forum for new additions. (If you're not sure if I already have the link, just check the Control tower url above.) Sites can be your own or one you found. The subject matter criteria is straightforward:

1. World War II planes or manufacturers from any nation. Includes armaments, design, performance, roles etc.
2. Battles that had a significant air component (Midway, BOB etc)
3. Diaries or recollections from people who participated (pilots, air & ground crew, designers etc)
4. Sites dedicated to a particular air unit ("The 505th BG Home Page") or veterans organizations.
5. Web sites can pertain to any nation that participated in the air war and can be in any language.
6. I'll accept links to stores, Magazines, Art etc as long as their overall theme has to do with WW2 in the Air.

Links can be to a website home page or to a particular page or section of special interest. Generally speaking, I am looking either for depth and detail or some unique info not found elsewhere. I try to include as much as possible, but don't bother if your site consists entirely of a picture of a Spit you scanned in from Air & Space Magazine with a short paragraph on why you like that plane so much, Smile

Please post the name of the site & URL here or, if you prefer, email me at zwarbirdmail@zenoswarbirdvideos.com

TIA!

Zeno

your list seems pretty complete, but i think this
http://www.canit.se/~griffon/aviation/content.html#history
could help "beef up" the Swedish section

Great site on 41 Squadron Royal Air Force done by a guy I know whose uncle was a pilot with the squadron. Lots of my photos and info on it so I'm biased

The following was done by an old AW buddy whose Dad was a B26 pilot. It has a couple projects of mine as well and a great bunch of history on the pilots he's gotten to know through his Dad

Hi Zeno,

thanks for the excellent list there.

One important addition

: Finnish Virtual Pilots Association has a lot of articles to read, mostly about Finnish pilots. http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/ or you can link directly to the history pages, http://www.virtualpilots.fi/hist/.
