Subject: RE: Use of B-26B panel
Hello Bill,
Feel free to use my Marauder panel. Just credit me and keep it freeware
(don't make money from it).
I'd be very interested to see what you are doing. I have a lot of reserch
materials including photos and detailed scale drawings for the B-26.
My father was flying his 58th B-26 combat mission as a pilot when he was
shot down over Normandy in 1944. He spent time as a POW and died in 1989
after 33 years of military service. The work I did on the panel was by way
of rememberance and has meant a lot to family members and friends.
Best regards,
Rob Clark

Dear Mr. Clark
I am putting the finishing touches on a B26B that I constructed using FSDS.
I am writing to get your permission to package your B26B panel with this
wonderful plane. This airplane, "Big Ass Bird", was one of the airplanes
that my father flew 40 combat missions in the MTO in 1943. As such it is
dedicated to him as he recently passed on.
His hobby was photography and we have many wonderful photos of the airplane
and his combat crew. None of which was published except for a very famous
one of another one of his ships -- "Hornets Nest" which had more than 100
holes in it from German fighters.
These photos have been used to create a very good model of Big Ass Bird. I
am now working on the dynamic cockpit based on his photos of the cockpit
from 1943 along with some photos on the web from a B26B reconstruction
project.
