"The BURMA BANSHEES" sur Facebook !

Robin Adair started a Facebook page about the 80th FG: feel free to visit !

Robin a publié une photo des membres du 89th Fighter Squadron dont voici un agrandissement.

Lt Sherry Dare P-40N "WAHOO"

Lt Sherry Dare flew a P-40N-5 named "Wahoo", 42-105234 probably, unknown tail #.

Une autre image révélant le côté droit, a fait surface récemment sur un forum. Le numéro individuel reste un mystère...

A new picture, showing the name painted on the right side of the cowling, surfaced recently (thanks, Steve ^^)

P-40N-5 "Butter Bean II" #65 Major Albert L Evans

P-40N #65 flown by Maj. A L Evans can be seen in the "Adair" collection, displaying 4 white spokes on its wheels while the others are painted black.

Some color footage captured it too, while the "LIFE magazine" archives offers another view. Serial number appears to be 2105233, on this picture.

Le P-40N du Major A L Evans #65 semble porter le s/n 2105233, et est reconnaissable à ses roues à rayons dont 4 sont peints en blanc.

Une autre image de la collection Arnone montre un P-40N #65 dont le nom semble être "Queen ... ?" Le numéro étant lui, clairement 2105234.

P-40N #65 from the Arnone collection. s/n number is 2105234, while the name on the cowling reads "Queen ...?"

Angel Wings #1: "Burma Banshees" by Romain Hugault

Reçu récemment le T1 d'Angel Wings, par Romain Hugault: "Burma Banshees". J'ai eu le plaisir de lui fournir un maximum de docs qu'il a parfaitement su intégrer au scénario de Yann.

L'éditeur a eu la gentillesse d'inclure aussi la version grand format, et un badge tissu du 89th FS. Somptueux.

An US or english edition is scheduled, once the 3 first volumes have been published. Patience...

Merry Xmas to you all !

Merry Xmas & Joyeux Noël to all and specially to Mr Dodd V Shepard (89th FS) and his family ;)

Card is from the Anthony Arnone collection, and was signed by Jinx Falkenburg.
