enthusiast is an understatement, he's a full fledged prop nut. too bad he doesn't have a computer. Ill take a stab at it.
First of all, the twin engine transports with the rounded vertical stabilizer and the streamlined nose are Curtis C-46 commandos. The twin engine transports with the upright windshield are c-47's(DC-3s). The single engine plane in Box 1 pic 3 is a TBM Avenger. The single engine jet with the bubble canopy is a F-84 thunderjet. The twin engine black painted bombers are Douglas A-26 Invaders(one bad *** airplane). The dark blue navy jet is either a Grumman Panther or Cougar(box 7, pic one with the F86, box 14 pic 1), I can't tell the two apart. The big transport with the open front end(box 7 pic 3) is a C-124 Globemaster(they have one on static display at the Charleston airbase). Box 10 pic one is really cool. There's a C-69 constellation(have one on display here also), a B-17 bomber in hte back ground, with c-46's and C-47's

Hope this helps, btw, here's a good site to check on them

i used it to double check my findings and get the correct military designation numbers( no I didn't cheat)
