I received this issue yesterday and found several indepth warbird restoration reports by Jim Church. (and of course great photos too!) Jim reported on what is going on at Sky Harbour Refinishers in Canada, at Midwest Aero Restorations in Illinois and at Stars and Bars Aircraft in Indiana. Great work Jim! In the same issue is a good story about the CAF's Helldiver with photos from the YAF Show this past summer. Helldiver survivors are also listed and they are: 1. BuNo 19075 at Yanks Air Museum awaiting restoration 2. BuNo 83321 on display at the Hellenic Air Force Museum in Greece, 3. BuNo 83410 on display at the Royal Thai Air Force Museum in Bangkok 4. BuNo 83479 on display at the NMNA in Pensacola (owned by the NASM) and 5. flying with the CAF. Mike Rawson in Minnesota is restoring a Helldiver/A-25 for the USAF Museum and he has wreckage of 2 other Helldivers.
