Yea I have seen this page not long ago some strange aircaft there and some I havent heard of (Boeing B-15? - looks like a B-17 that ate too much) but what is so rare and or weird about a Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star or a P-47N Thunderbolt?

the XB15 .. the wings where basiclly a Boeing 314 .. many good photos , I did like the Dominators , backup if the 29s failed .. every country had it wicked designs that could have shined .

It just nice to look at the photos without the read .. look and study , as you said Bazza must be something here for the historian .. thought , i do have a photo off that model plane here somewere ! good little post Jas

That xp-83 is just a F-10/F-3D skynight with a single seat cockpit.

btw Wasn't the prototype p-51 armed with 20mm's?As it was the A-36 apache before the mustang as we know it.

This is an excellent site and has much much more than just the US page...start at their homepage and enjoy the same from many countries...

Start here

Avoid the dedication page to maintain family viewing....
