Here is my guess:

1 - Mosquito
2 - P-40E (the drawing)
3 - P-40(E?)
4 - P-47D
5 - Mosquito
6 - P-51D
7 - F4U-1D (maybe -5N) Corsair
8 - P-40E (drawing)
9 - P-51D
10 - P-51H (Have seen Crazy Horse at many airshows)
11 - P-51B/D. Need to see wing/gun ports
12 - P-51D (this one is based in VA Beach - have seen it at many airshows)
13 - P-40E
14 - P-51B/C
15 - Spitfire

Aviators have been disciplined for making contrail dicks.

I suspect no one wants to run the risk of losing their career over offending someone.

Goddamn...it all went to shite after Tailhook

They were lucky they didn't get stitched, they almost got too cocky, Those Zeros had 20mm's.

Here is the nose art on my Grandfather's B-29. He was a bombardier with the 20th AF in both the CBI and PTO.

Negative. The chin and scoop on top of the nose give it away.

I can see why someone might think that, but the lack of a scoop on top gives it away. I’m still not 100% positive it’s a B.

I'd let this woman fire my cannon. That look does things for me.

I agree. But looking at the picture, the one next to it is a B/C although that doesn't mean shite lol
