I liked it's looks. I was just surprised to see the poster right behind the counter at the shop. Not expected in 2015. :)HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-90177515315140912232015-04-11T17:24:04.570-04:002015-04-11T17:24:04.570-04:00Hm.

That's Airacobra, and yes, it was not that good a fighter aircraft--but it was designed as a ground attack aircraft, and the Russians did fairly well with it in that role. Its successor--the P-63 Kingcobra, was a much better aircraft and on a par with the P-47 and P-38. The Russians loved it.<br /><br />Besides, both were very sleek and good looking aircraft due to the engine being placed behind the cockpit--worth a poster, I think.Captain Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297301009511642108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-38348866530195949872015-04-10T15:46:33.803-04:002015-04-10T15:46:33.803-04:00Plane language.

Full profile air recognition poster and specs. We couldn't sell them to the Marines and barely gave them away to the Russians.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-18802143021815034432015-04-10T15:18:48.782-04:002015-04-10T15:18:48.782-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-33153449091273940812015-04-10T12:28:55.057-04:002015-04-10T12:28:55.057-04:00Well said Cap'n.

I often wonder which part of <em>shall not be infringed</em> people don't understand?OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.com
