Hello, I'm in Canada looking for the colour scheme and markings for Second Wold War South African Airforce fighters. Also what Aircraft was used by SAAF during WW2? The reason I'm need this information is that my father inlaw was a aircraft mechanic in the SAAF during WW2. An would like to build a Fighter in honour of this. And i'm tiered of all the USAF fighters I see. Too many Flying Tiger P-40's. I have done all kinds of searches for SAAF WW2 information but it has not been very help full. Thanks for any help I get.
