Even Brewster Buffs who have never driven a Saab have reason to mourn the passage of the Swedish automobile, which will be phased out in 2010. The Saab company was founded in 1937 to build airplanes for the Swedish Air Force, and it wasn't until 1949 that it decided to build automobiles. If you don't remember the original Saab, it was a curious vehicle... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cubdriver) http://warbirdsforum.yuku.com/topic/1150 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:44:04 GMT <![CDATA[ F2A-3s at NAS Miami (Bring Magnifying Glass!) ]]> http://warbirdsforum.yuku.com/topic/1149/t/F2A-3s-at-NAS-Miami-Bring-Magnifying-Glass-.html

Hi Folks,

Found this image on the WW2 Aircraft forum which shows a variety of aircraft at NAS Miami in 1943(ish). I count 12 F2A-3s discernable in the top right corner of the image . It's a really atmospheric shot. Thought you'd all like to see.

Best wishes,
Mark

I thought some many posts ago, there was a photo on the forum with
Belgian/French Aircraft on Martinique (after delivery).

Did I just imagine it or was it posted (can't find it).

I know there is one in the Buffalo in Action book, but the one (thought) I saw
on here was larger.

Is there a larger version?

Thanks

Alan
