I have read a reference that kermit weeks' ki-61 has two tail units. I understand that there is an allegation that a relatively intact Ki-61 in PNG had its tail unit scavenged (illegally) and that the extra tail unit that is with the Week's 61 belongs to that aircraft. Considering the rarity of...

Am I imagining things or does there seem to be a pretty high attrition rate among the really rare airplanes at some of these UK airshows? I mean there was the P-38, P-63, Mosquito, the Me-109 (Black 6), then there was the Sea Fury on the golf course and the Sea Fury on the beach. Now there is...

As I recall from a model airplane kit I built back in the late 1940s, the British observation plane, Westland Lysander, was equipped with small, short, secondary flying surfaces (hardly wings) attached to the landing gear just at about the top of the wheelpants. As I understood it at the time,...
