Martinnfb Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Sorry 1941 The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the aerial warfare service of the United States of America between 1926 and 1941. After World War I, as early aviation became an increasingly important part of modern warfare, a philosophical rift developed between more traditional ground-based army personnel and those who felt that aircraft were being underutilized and that air operations were being stifled for political reasons unrelated to their effectiveness. The USAAC was renamed from the earlier United States Army Air Service on 2 July 1926, and was part of the larger United States Army. The Air Corps became the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 20 June 1941, giving it greater autonomy from the Army's middle-level command structure. During World War II, although not an administrative echelon, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947, when it was legally abolished by legislation establishing the Department of the Air Force.[1] Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Wow Martin, not sure how I missed this thread! I guess that's what happens when I have my head buried in my own build. Love what you're doing with your B-25 my friend. It looks fantastic! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It has been busy two weeks and I opted to relax by clay-baring my car rather then piecing together internal structure of this beast. However , last week I received a goodie box from Ernie and it was filled with aftermarket for Mitchell, I mean filled, everything , props, engine covers, seat belts, all metal imaginable. So I decided to dedicate this build to Ernie. I do not collect models, simply the fun- value is in the process of building it. But I know that Ernie's house is big enough to take one more orphan kit . I am not sure how to ship it to Texas, but there must be some way. Here is a quick cell-phone shot of few hours over the Eduard nose-set. Pretty impressive what are comrades at Eduard able to develop on a simple sheet of photo-etch. Thank You Ernie!
