You sure?

I think when you left JG11, my chief might have added you... (as future motivation for me). 

   It wasnt the chief it was me in a drunken stooper,I only blamed the chief!

   Thats some nice stuff you have too Cactus,that poster from Lockeed is very special.

I have this on my wall behind the computer along with a few other pictures.



I also have about twenty other lithos as well but most are in storage....  I bought 3 copies of JG-52 a long while back as investments.  They paid off.


Incidentally, we commissioned Trudgian to do a painting a few years back.  It has not been made into lithos yet.

I have yet to find a place worthy to hang this



Signed by Dick Cole, Davy Jones, Ed Horton, David Thatcher, Robert Hite, Tom Griffin, Bill Bower, and Jimmy Doolittles son, John Doolittle.

The saddest thing is, half of the people that signed that picture are no longer with us. They will live forever in memories of grateful Americans everywhere, though.

tmetal, that diving stuka one is awesome!

This one is over the computer. Nick Trudgian's "American Air Forces in Europe"  Appropriate for DGS II



I commissioned this one by a local artist for the pilot back in the 80s, after he'd spent any number of years writing me letters to answer all my dumb Spitfire XII questions.  This was pre e-mail so it was a lot of snail mail from England to Minnesota.  He got the original, and I got print number 1.  Sadly he's since passed away.  Spitfire XII prototype DP845



Got this one for my youngest son's room.  love those Red Tail Mustangs.  "The Shepard" by Troy White.   Autographed by the pilot Charles Bailey.



Got this one as a gift.  Paul Tibbet's first B-17 "The Red Gremlin"  A few years before Enola Gay.  Autographed by Tibbets and his navigator



Also this one by Wade Meyers of a P-38.



Don't have a photo of it, but a bunch of us in Airwarrior commissioned Randy Green to paint the P39 of our old buddy Earl Miller who'd flown in the MTO in 39s and Jugs and also flew Airwarrior.  I got to present it to him at the Indy Con for Airwarrior that Jordi hosted way back when.  The guys who pitched in got autographed prints by the artist and Earl while Earl got the original for his man cave

Tupac my office would be a very worthy place to hang your B-25 portrait.

Where do I start LOL!!!!!!! Before I left the military my ready room for AH was in my kitchen I had picture starting in my kitchen going all the way around. Cant hang them up in my current house. but I did manage to find these ones I have online as example. I have multiple pictures of B-17 paintings and actual pictures, a postcard of a Hurricane MK IIC from 1945, I C-141 postcard from 1965, a P-47 vrs 190 Painting, A B-17 print from the Movie Memphis Belle, P-51D Mustang print of a 31st Fighter Group signed by the Pilot, much much more but my prize print it my collection had an ironic twist, A C-141B print of starlifter salute number 305 the irony of it is the print of the 141s is for the 438th MW based out of McGuire AFB which was changed to the 305th MW and the irony is I was assigned to the 305 but here is a print of it

I found this picture of me from the base when I was trying out the new uniforms. But in the background is a hint of my overall collection
