I must say this is a very good issue! To start with there is a cover story about Mike George's Corsair followed by an in depth article about the complete rebuild to flying condition of the P-51 "Miss America". There is a list of surviving Constellations (I had no idea there were still so many around), warbird reports about many new restorations/happenings at the Yanks Museum (the acquistion of a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny and a Curtiss Robin from the Museum of Flying, restoration of the Cessna Bamboo Bomber now nearing completion, the restoration of a Waco CG-4A glider to flying condition, and photos of restoration taking place on the Corsair, the Ryan Brougham and Standard J-1 trainer)and a photo of Kermit's A-26 now standing on its own gear at Aero Trader. Finally there is a photo of a virtually complete Bf 109 recently recovered from a lake in Russia. Its in amazing condition!
