It needs a backdrop, Brian  :lol:

Over Jilin, a lone spatted I-16 bests a pair of Ki-27s of the Dai Manshu Teikoku Kugun. (Note that the Manchoukuo aircraft's spats have been removed. What were they thinking?)

Wow is that a great bit of artwork, apophenia! A lot of people could be fooled by this pic.

What a treat for me to see your work after being offline the last 10 days!

Thanks for making my what-if look like a "I'm-sure-it-was".
