Introduction
Welcome to Forgotten Jets, my massively time-consuming obession with old military jets from the 1940s to 60s. What I'm attempting to do here is match up operational histories and photos with individual serial/bureau numbers, which is just as difficult as you might imagine (if not a million times more so).
As of this minute I am trying (and failing miserably) to keep track of 101 different subtypes of 27 types of aircraft, for a
grand total of 22,841 individual airplanes. I am clearly insane...
What's new here...
February 14, 2012: Small addition this week, page started for the Avia S-92 Turbina, a lesser known Czech copy of the famous Luftwaffe Me-262. Thanks to Tjalling for the serial list.
February 7, 2012: Hey, a whole week has passed, how about we add another jet? :). Started a page for the Avro CF-100 Canuck, Canada's only all-weather jet interceptor to reach production. Thanks to Tjalling for the serial list.
January 31, 2012: Added a page for the Vought F8U Crusader, a carrier-based fighter from the Vietnam era. Thanks to Tom in particular for help on photos and squadrons (I'm still learning the US Navy stuff...).
January 24, 2012: Added a page for the French Sud-Ouest Vautour II, another limited production run jet from the old days. Thanks to Tjalling for the framework of this one.
January 12, 2012: Added a page for the French Dassault Ouragan. Thanks to Tjalling, as always, for his help on the foreign serial number lists.
January 2, 2012: Started pages for the Korean War-era Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, they will hopefully fill up more over time. Thanks to Tjalling for the support!
December 22, 2011: Added my first foreign jet, the Dutch Fokker S-14 Machtrainer. Thanks to Tjalling for his help on this one!
December 20, 2011: Obviously I have put up a new page style :). How does it look? Any easier to navigate than the old page style?
