    That is a great photograph, Barry!

    To be strictly accurate a 'brace' is two items of the same type. So, you have pictured a quartet.

    Haa a "Double Brace" then! (A quartet just does nor rhyme with Bombers)

    Suppose I should really said a "Flock"

    It was, indeed, the fly-in to commemorate the Doolittle Raid - we saw them flying around the greater Dayton area for several days...

    I think there were 17 in all...?

    All the best,
