You'd love my dad's "Marine Room." He has photos (sometimes of the one he flew, sometimes just a photo of the model) of every plane he flew while in the Marine Corps.
He flew in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
His favorite plane to fly (even better than an F4) was the Tigercat:

In its day, best in the sky (with a correctly trained pilot)

Saw a Tigercat at an air show when I was a kid, it's kind of hard to tell from photos just how massive those two engine's are, but they are huge.
One of my favorite prop planes.

I've always liked the De Havilland Vampire too.
