Thanks JimH..the 1st and 3rd photos are my favorites! Color 'em to black and white and you'd swear
they were the "real deal" period stuff! The third shot looks sooo much like you are there.
The fella snapping it with his Leica or grainy Kodak film box etc...fixed with its manual settings, but the
aircraft jinking-about amidst the concussion of the flak to blur the image..cool stuff..thanks!!! :D

I agree that the first shot is absolutely stunning. Can just imagine a line up of B-24's behind taking off on a mission. Thankyou very much for sharing these photo's.
