    Rumpler C.I (Hannover) 4683/16 in Russia from the album of Leutnant Fritz Leitzow. Fritz was an observer whose primary job was aerial photography. That expertise in photography showed up in his beautiful portraits of aircraft. Rumplers used the semi-circular radiator inlet shown here in all their models, making them easy to spot. Again the tires on WW-I aircraft were grayish white because of the lack of carbon black in the rubber compounds.

    Early photography was so much better than current stuff. If I recall, small aperture, and long exposure gives that depth of field with equal sharpness in the foreground as well as the distance. I have some Boeing in-plant 8" X 10" pictures that captured details in the back of the building as well as the nearby parts in the foreground. Beautiful old Rumpler.

    One of the prettiest airliners ever, the Lockheed Constellation. Here is one pulling into the gate at Chicago Midway airport in the summer of 1958. At the time it was the busiest airport in the world in a different world when trains ruled. I think they did the Cary Grant movie North by Northwest at MDW around the time this photo was taken with a release date in 1959. I noticed whenever a Connie is taxing they seem to have that forward door open. Anyone know why? I saw one of these flying cargo out of MIA back in the 1980's and it sounded amazing.

    F-16C looked like she had a red air paint job.

    Just like the B-29s and other WW-II aircraft, many now fly without their superchargers or turbochargers, which can be difficult to maintain.

    Also very heavy. On the B-29 at least 300 + pounds per engine.

    OK. But wouldn’t some additional skinning and covering help with the aerodynamics? Just looks unfinished.....

    James- Most people do not see her from the top, but some camouflage look-alike trim or gutless original parts would be nice.

    To which airplane are you referring? P-38? If it is, covering the turbo charger would not work with the tremendous heat in the turbine and exhaust shroud. The P-47 had cooling air routed to its turbo, if I remember.
