    Some of these didn't involve acft. much at all, never mind WW2 fighters and bombers.

    However, there's a couple possibilities for *real* "oddball" paint schemes -- for ex.: Indonesia's Japanese Ki-43: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...AURI_Oscar.JPG ,among other "opportunistically acquired" IJ units; or the similar brace of Japanese units operated by France post-WW2: https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/...rench-service/ .

    Yep knew that but members can research for themselves or use the 'what if' for hypothetical games.

    Let's not forget the so called "Football War" of 1969 between El Salvador and Honduras. With primary fighters being P-51s and F4U Corsairs with some T-6 Texans and T-28 Trojans being thrown in and bombs being dropped out of C-47s

    Lucas I think you may have the wrong year here. BUT ... There was an insurrection in Honduras / British Honduras in 1969 which soon came to an end when HS Buccaneer aircraft of the Royal Navy began to appear in the skies above Tegucigalpa. Britain deployed the HMS Ark Royal to assist the British Garrison in bringing those troubles to an end and she arrived on the scene in five days.

    Though 1969 these WW2 vintage aircraft were used in what I knew as the 100 Hour War ... But you have now taught me was also known as the Football War.

    Besten Danke

    Wasn't the first time a Gooney Bird dropped a load on someone -- there's a tale told of some AVG types who "borrowed" a DC-2 or -3, and a brace of 500-lb.ers; and went on a trip to the local IJ HQ. They made something like six passes, manhandling the bombs over the side; they inflicted no real damage, but surprised the hell out of everyone below, and blew a Japanese general out of his bed....

    True: Atlas Editions in their latest Bombers of the World collection have just included the C-47A Skytrain (April Addition) which I at first thought shouldn't have been included. But then the story unfolds as to the C-47A Skytrain being used as a makeshift bomber in WW2 during the Pacific War as Chris mentions above on more than one occasion. In Europe there were no spare airframes from logistical and paratrooper duties to adapt into any form of bombing role.

    Sketchy reports indicate that a limited number of DC-3s / C-47s found their way into Russian hands where out of desperation explosive devices were hurled from them onto the Germans who expected them to be in use as transport aircraft. More commonly used with a machine gun mounted in the loading portal by the Allies as a forerunner of the AC-47 Spooky gunship as used in Korea and I believe Vietnam as well.

    I just saw this and have to complement Neil on his research and time to put this together.
    Lucas you are correct about the year. When I read this it said the last time piston fighters fought each other.
