A P-51 named February from Maggie's Farm
This tribute to the Gray Eagles (WWII pilots) was in conjunction with an air show in Ohio called "The Final Roundup." It was the last large gathering of the remaining P-51 Mustang fighters used during WWII. There were about 120 of the fighters there, all of them in flying condition, of course. The flyover seen at the end of the video trailer is composed entirely of P-51s spelling out the number 51.
Weekend Wings #31: The Last of the Big Bangers from Bayou Renaissance Man by Peter
In 1943, the tide had turned in World War II. Germany’s long string of victories in the West and in the East had been decisively halted at Stalingrad in Russia, El Alamein in Egypt, and in North Africa with the Torch landings.
In the Pacific, Japan’s advance had been halted on land in the Guadalcanal campaign. 1943 saw the launch of Operation Cartwheel, a two-pronged assault commanded by General Douglas Macarthur in the New Guinea campaign, and by Admiral Chester Nimitz in the Solomon Islands campaign. Both prongs would eventually meet in the Philippines in late 1944. At sea, the Imperial Japanese Navy had been decisively defeated at the Battle of Midway in June 1942, losing four of its aircraft-carriers and the core of its trained naval aviation corps. It remained a formidable threat, but the US Navy now had its measure, and the growing flood of new-construction aircraft carriers and other warships emerging from US shipyards promised a growing naval supremacy in the Pacific, permitting the island-hopping invasions planned for 1944 and 1945. ...

A Trader returns to the air from Warbirds Online by Scott WRG Editor
Daniel Serrato of Eufaula, AL has acquired C-1 Trader Bu. 136778 and with much time, money and effort has returned this unlikely warbird to the air in late 2008. The C-1 Trader was the workhorse of U.S. Navy carrier aviation for many years before being replace by the C-2 Greyhound. While the C-1’s cousin, the S-2 Tracker, has found life after service as a firebomber, often being fitted with turboprop engines, only a handful of C-1 Traders managed to avoid the scrap yard. Congratulations Daniel for preserving an unusual piece of aviation history. ...
