Armorers load the guns of a 44th FS 18th FG P-38L-5 in July 1945.
After they finish they'll hang the drop tanks and pump the napalm mix out of those drums and into them :shock:

No safety cones around the aircraft, no steel toed safety shoes, no eye protection, no ground wire, no hard hat, and the bullets are backwards! How can you possibly win a war like that??!!!

I was a lawyer for 17 years on labor and injury cases. No violations here as long as there is nobody around with a camera...................

If they haven't had an accident, then there hasn't been a violation.

Everyone knows OSHA doesn't show up until there's been an accident.

Why the heck else would there be a government orginization named "Oh Sh*t Had an Accident" if their job was to show up before one? :lol:

If my eyes don't deceive me, the ammo belt coming out of the can is loaded properly. The belt in his hand isn't part of the belt in the can.

Could he be loading the cannon? I'm not familiar with what the cannon ammo looks like.

Mudge the observant :shock:

They've got their hair under their hats so it won't get caught in any machinery!

Doesn't look any worse than some of the things I have seen cabling contractors do.
