Warbirds mainly from the forties

From a period when big engines spun big props & did not make that horrible whiney sound of a jet. In this period the style of the engineers & designers was unique and aircraft had their own style. Now wind tunnel development is making all planes look homogenous.

There is a concentration of Curtis P-40 Kittyhawks in this section for a friend's senior father who flew this aircraft in anger.

Nice isolation of subject and concern for the back ground. Liked the blur of the props.
