Aircraft orthographic photos

[LegalAssassin]

I'm looking for a good top view of a Wellington, in the same fashion as this one of a Heinkel:

I've looked through everything I could find on Google, hopefully someone here has a private stash.

Also looking for a top view of a Waco CG-4A as the air photo I have is nothing like the reference drawings I have - the tail is too long and the wing tip shape is different. Also the canopy is crushed, it appears. I'm suspecting it could be a CG-15, but I don't know how to tell:

In fact, how about we make a thread with top views of any aircraft? Might come in handy for someone...

You've heard the man. If you come across a perfect top view photograph (not drawings) of an aircraft, post it here. It may be of great help cross-checking scale drawings for shape and accuracy.

And why restrict to top views? If you find (near-)perfect side views, front views, etc..., they're welcome too. I.e....

***** Post your orthographic aircraft photos here! *****

Here are some more:

A practical application of a Mustang photo can be seen here. Note how it instantly highlights flaws in scale drawings.
Ignore the wing mismatch though, as this is not a perfectly perfect side view photo, but it's still useful for things like the tail fin.

PS. If this thread develops well, I may start a new one and put all findings in the first post and make it a sticky.

Also the canopy is crushed, it appears.Looks like the noses are opened.

This one is for Ronnie. Enlargement from "Four P-51 Mustangs flying in formation. Ramitelli, Italy, March 1945", Library of Congress Online Catalog.

Hehe, cheers :)
Next Mustang I'll model will be an A or a B/C though, which have slightly different wings ;) I'll be using factory drawings for that one too. But that's still waaaaaay in the future, plenty of other aircraft to be built first! :)

Send me a list of the aircraft you need cross-sections, along with their locations in the US. I might be able to scan them while I am scanning some other aircraft across the US.
