beach Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 This is the new "History In Flight" series which will be a printed kites done by our friends "Los Hermanos"...... The first one we have done is the P-51 fighter which played a huge role in keeping the skies safe in WW 2, as you can see this also comes with a matching custom carry bag and is called "The Dog Fight"....... So enjoy and lets always remember that this is just the beginning of a whole new series of kites....... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Australian Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wow, great looking kite. How many designs are going to be in the series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oapbillf Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 P-51 Mustang ! Nice aircraft or as we called aircraft in the Royal Air Force "KITES", that applied to anything that flew by the way! Now what is wanted is the Spitfire and Hurricane and offer a set of them to "The Flying Squad" and rename to "The Flying Squadron" Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Im not really sure on how many it's all about creating the art work..... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone in Shoe Bob Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not my choice of design, but I can thoroughly recommend the printed Revs I have a pair and I absolutely love them in light wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flt101 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Could the P-51D in the lower right be N5441V/511582 "SPAM CAN" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbro Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Would love to see an F4U Corsair, one of my favorites. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Isn't that a Corsair on the left side of the sail? -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlandflyer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Alden - look close at the markings!! It's a German plane - probably a ME-109! The Corsair is a gull wing craft, not straight wings! Remember the planes used in the TV series about the "Black Sheep" squadron? Most, I think, were Navy planes and painted dark blue!

portlandflyer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 BF? Never heard of those letters used in a description of German aircraft! FW - Focke Wolfe or ME - Messerschmidt , I think those two supplied most of the German aircraft for WWII! There are probably others, just not as popular as those two!

flt101 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 ok, it's a 109, I was just looking at the paint job. maybe it like 2 mints in 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I was looking at the front cowling that's what made me think of the corsair. Sorry, don't remember the show you were talking about must have been before my time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbro Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Corsairs were Navy, and flew off of carriers and some bases in the South Pacific battles.Luftwaffe Bf-109 is what is pictured on the left(googled it) Correction:Messerschmitt Bf 109 or as they were most often called me-109.

ragnarock47 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Have the plans been put into motion for other kites in this series? The Dog Fight certainly is a beautiful kite although I am hoping for a space themed version or maybe even a mixed era from WWII to space on the same kite. Thanks!
