Default RE: Lake Michigans Aircraft Carriers

Great subject.

The Dauntless that the Kalamazoo Air Zoo has is one of those Lake Michigan Carrier Aircraft.

It first saw action in "Operation Torch" and was returned home for practice traps out in Lake Michigan.

It was lost on a over shoot on the sixth attempted landing, (if I remember right

Attached are a few pics of my Ziroli Dauntless done in the same scheme as the Air Zoo's, but more weathered like it was in action.

I grew up on the beach in a small town in southwest, MI so I just had to do my SBD in this scheme.

Cheers,
