Has anyone out there ever heard of or senn pictures of the
folowing Navy aircraft ;
F-51H bureau # 09064
Mosquito bureau # 91106
F-84 (drone) bureau #'s 142269-142348
I found them listed in a complete list of USN bureau numbers but have never seen them in Navy colors.
They might make some intersting paint schemes.[:D]
I think I saw a picture of one at BVMJETS.com , in there f-86 section. if it wasnt there it is in one of the books i have, i will check and see if i have a picture.
There was a book out quite a few years ago, late 70’s I think called US Navy fighters. I’m not sure who wrote it or published it. I remember it has the stang and I think the mossie. I lost my copy of it in a hot water heater accident (does anyone make diapers for thos things?) so I can’t check on it for you. I know this is scant help but at least I can point a direction.
How about USN Spitfire Mk Vb’s with VCS-7?

How about the FW-190A in the dark blue/light blue/white tri color scheme that was at Pax River in 44 and 45?
If you’re still looking for info, I found this site that might help:
I was looking for the 2004 Blue Angels schedule when I came across this

The book US naval fighters was published by Aero publications, inc . I saw it years ago too i have the other book they published US Fighters, it was written by Lloyd S.Jones im not sure whether he wrote the Naval Fighter book though, I dont think the Mosqiuto will be htere though since it was probably the only one the Navy tested.
