    Please consider uploading your own photos.

    Photos of roadside warbirds and museum collections are most welcome.
    Photos of aircraft as they are currently displayed are great, but photos of airframes in previous markings, with past owners or during a restoration are fantastic as well. You can help document the history of airframes with photos!

    Airframe: Bell P-63C-5-BE Kingcobra, s/n 44-4425 USAAF, c/n 33-1010, c/r N62995
    Notes: Chuck Tucker poses for the photographer on the wing of Number 28 at the 1948 Cleveland Air Races. His 1948 run for the Thompson Trophy was thwarted by a burned piston in the Allison engine. He had purchased a load of Shell Methyl Triptane fuel that year but it was an a pre-race trial with alcohol as the fuel that actually caused the piston damage according to Chuck himself in an interview with the late, great Air Racing historian Oliver Ollie Aldrich.

    Photo Date: In 1948
    Credit: Dustin W. Carter Collection via Timothy Weinschenker
    Date Uploaded: 3 November 2019
    Airframe: North American P-51C-5-NT Mustang, s/n 42-103757 USAAF, c/n 103-26311, c/r N4845N
    Notes: It was a long time before it was more widely known that the Beguine was suppose to be racing at Cleveland in 1948. Paul Penny Penrose was suppose to be the pilot. It was decided to let another pilot ferry it to Cleveland. The airplane ran out fuel and was bellied in a farmers field. Of course it did not make it to Cleveland and Paul Penrose was dismissed as the pilot. Dusty Carter gave me a copy of this photo for helping print photos for the Mustang book for him just before he passed away. You can easily identify it as 1948 by the cuffless Hamilton Standard prop and painted spinner.
