Oshkosh 2022 | Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

8/07/2022 Oshkosh 2022 | Curtiss P-40 Warhawk

Oshkosh 2022 | Curtiss P-40 Warhawk  The shark mouth of Flying Tigers nose art that adorned the fuselages of the famed American Volunteer Group (AVG) is one of the best known examples of nose art in WWII.  The Curtiss P-40 served in almost every theater of the Second World War.  Both praised and cursed, it bore much of the brunt of the air warfare.  With no supercharger, it was designed as a medium-altitude fighter.  Still, it was available in large quantities and was both sturdy and docile.  So, it withstood  the punishment battle well.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

8/05/2022 Oshkosh 2022 | Vought F4U Corsair

Oshkosh 2022 | Vought F4U Corsair  The F4U Corsair looks quite distinctive with its gull wings.  It also makes a distinctive sound caused by noise from the engine and wing-root air inlets, which earned it the nick-name “Whistling Death”  The “bent wings” allowed deck clearance of its large 13′ 4″ propeller.  And, the large prop allowed for a R-2800 Double Wasp, 18 cylinder double radial 2250 horsepower engine.  It could out fight, out climb, and out run any prop driven enemy aircraft at the time.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nubbins III | ORD 9R Takeoff   O’hare is busy place, day or night.  Just as we “line up and wait”, the plane in front of us is lifting off the runway.  I still like “position & hold” better!   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
