ON THE COVER: Although over 5,000 Airacobras were built, they are, today, one of the rarest warbirds flying because no country used them postwar. For that reason, few have survived intact.

ON THE COVER: Norb Ruff’s original P-38 is long gone, but Ron Fagan’s faithful recreation of Ruff’s mount in his restoration means its spirit lives on. Norb passed away recently, but not until he had gone to several airshows with Ron and his old airplane. Two warriors together at the end. (Photo courtesy of Paul Bowen)
