Very cool! thanks for posting.

If you look at the left wing of the P-47, you can find a PR mosquito in US colors there :)  :aok
(also a Beaufighter behind it)

Looks like an excellent museum. I'll have to visit it someday.

Glad y'all enjoyed the link.

I like to set my head position in the game in a more or less historical position to at least get an idea of what our WW2 counter parts saw inside their planes.  This helped me a bit on the P-47.

Planes like the P38 are easier to locate than the bubble tops since the canopy frame is like a grid.
