Speaking of Pappy, while sick in bed this weekend I re-read his biography about his time with the flying tigers and WWII, Baa Baa blacksheep. A treasured book as I met him at an air show as a kid and it's a signed copy with a pic my father had snapped with me and Pappy.
I also re-read Skunkworks, which reminds me of another favorite plane that still boggles my mind as it was designed and built in the 60's.

...for Allies or adversaries of WW1,WW2-[European theater and South Pacific],Korea,Vietnam and Gulf wars.Lots to choose from.
For WW2 and Korea, as a kid, my favorite models I built (and hung from my bedroom ceiling) were:
