Oshkosh 2022 | North American B-25 Mitchell Devil Dog The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber. North American Aviation produced just under 10,000 B-25s from 1939-1945. It was named after Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer in early military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of WWII. Over time, it became both a high-level and low-level bomber, a submarine patrol and photo reconnaissance aircraft, and even a fighter. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Oshkosh 2022 | Douglas C-47 Skytrain with Flag Oshkosh had several C-47s flying this year. My Uncle Jack hopped a ride on a C-47 in the early morning hours of 6 Jun 44. He parachuted into France the night before the morning D-Day invasion as part of the 101st Airborne Division, the “Screaming Eagles.” Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Oshkosh 2022 | Douglas C-47 Skytrain Placid Lassie The C-47 “Placid Lassie” towed gliders over Normandy on D-Day, dropped paratroopers in Operation Market Garden, and resupplied the besieged city of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. C-47s were the workhorses of WWII. They carried paratroopers, equipment, supplies, and just about anything that was needed quickly. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Oshkosh 2022 | Douglas A-1 Skyraider The A-1 Skyraider entered service in December 1946 as the next generation of WWII dive bombers and torpedo bombers. It saw extensive action in the Korean War by the U.S. Navy and USMC. In the Vietnam War, it again saw action as primary ground support attack aircraft and as one of the Skyraider’s most famous roles: the “Sandy” helicopter escort on search and rescue operations. With a cruising speed of 170 to 200 kts, a level attack speed of 260 kts, and a maximum sea level red-line speed of 410 kts, the Skyraider hugged the terrain below enemy radar coverage and delivered ordnance loads up to 8000 pounds. Its pilots and crews bestowed many names on the Skyraider including Sandy, Spad, Hobo, Zorro, and Firefly. The Skyraider was retired by the U.S. military in the 1970’s after a total of 3,180 planes were built. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

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.

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.
