| Re: Memphis Belle
The Government can't copywrite personal markings, only the standard ID/livery markings of the aircraft.. If anyone has copywrite priviledges, it would be the pilot of Memphis Belle whom painted them on his government issued A/C.. Yeager and Preddy's families are the same way, they have copywritten the personal markings, but can't do anything about the Gov't issued stuff such as livery.. That's why the 1/32 FOV Mustangs don't have either personal markings on their birds..
Just recently, Boeing and some of the other military contractors tried to gain copywrites on their military hardware, but the case was shot down because a Government contractor can't copywrite Goverment owned/commissioned materials.. |
