For aircraft I'm in the Pegasus fold as well with my GeeBee Model Z. I've always loved this plane and Pegasus produced a nice representation of it. Got it from the cat... was de-listed right after, possibly the last one. Can't really find them anywhere else.

John Landers flew that particular BBD with the 78th FG starting in Feb 1945. Around D-Day, he was flying with the 357th in the original BBD. He also made a name for himself in a P-38J prior to that... JSI are you listening?
