This Week In Military/Aviation History 12-18 January from Warbirds Online by Tom Kwiatkowski Sr.
Well Folks, believe it or not, another week has just passed and here I am back again. Over at the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum we’re in the process of acquiring a B-23 Dragon from the Commemorative Air Force Force Folks in Midland, Texas. More information about this project is both on the 1941 HAG Website and the Message Board which I moderate. There is also an interesting thread going on at the WIX Hangar Forum. It’s going to be an interesting time, to say the least. This year there are a great many projects going on at the 1941 HAG Museum and we have a great need for volunteers to work on them. If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the job for you. Well, let’s get down to some serious history, shall we? Have an AB FAN week, Be Safe, Tom K.

When you watch, please take into account the historical era in which the film was produced. It really provides an interesting historical and technical viewpoint on the development of the WWII fighter aircraft.
