@Brian2170, I don't know about Ukraineball, but I have those on my to do list eventually. Unless someone else gets to them first.

OK, thanks. (Hopefully the United DC-10s are also on your worklist...)

Nice additions from everyone.

天滅中共全黨死清光!

The RAF's first Victoria Cross recipients of WWII



Flying Officer Donald Garland was to lead 3 aircraft against the Veldwezelt Bridge in a low level attack. Sgt Tom Gray was the Observer/Navigator on Fairey Battle P2204 PH-K, piloted by F/O Donald Garland with LAC Lawrence Reynolds as rear gunner.
They flew below the cloud base at 1000 feet and on reaching the Veldwezelt area started a shallow bombing run. There were estimated to be some 300 guns entrenched in a defensive ring around the bridge, and the aircraft was blasted into the ground. It reportedly come down near Lanaken, Limburg, on the Maastricht side of the Belgian/Netherlands border (at approximate Coordinates: 50°53′N 05°39′E).
When the smoke cleared it was seen that the western end of the bridge was shattered, and evidence suggested the damage was caused by Garland and Gray's cool attack. It had been Gray's first operational bombing raid.
Flying Officer Garland and Sergeant Gray were both posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. The citation in "The London Gazette," for 11th June, 1940, gives the following details
"Flying Officer Garland was the pilot and Sergeant Gray the observer of the leading machine of a formation of five aircraft that were ordered to destroy at all costs a bridge over the Albert Canal which had not been demolished by the land forces and was allowing the Germans to advance into Belgium. In spite of very heavy defence of the area surrounding the bridge, the formation made a successful dive-bombing attack from the lowest practicable altitude, after releasing their bombs they were attacked by a large number of enemy fighters. Only one aircraft of the five returned to its base. Much of the success of the operation must be attributed to the formation leader, Flying Officer Garland, and to the coolness and resource of Sergeant Gray, who navigated the leading aircraft under most difficult conditions in such a manner that the whole formation, although it subsequently suffered heavy losses, was able successfully to attack the target".

Here's a couple more that I have been working on.

Eastern Express Saab 340


And since I started working on the Space Shuttle Carrier 747, I decided to do the American Air Lines 747s, since I was most of the way there.

American Airlines Boeing 747

The AA logo is really pixelated and does not read very well... why are you using such large blocks to represent it? I think eswube had given you many, many examples of how to do these logos correctly?

Thanks for the note, I'll go back and fix it right away. That got past me when I was cleaning it up.
