The picture of the 190’s in the tunnel was taken at Berlin Templehof. The rail lines are still there.... also the wood post floors are still there in some areas of the Lockheed Marietta Plant in Georgia, it was the Bell Bomber plant during WW2.
It’s always cool to find small remnants like that and realize what they were, and what was once there.

What are those two doors for that open up on top behind the top turret( life rafts) on the B-24?

Good stuff, I really like seeing the ww2 aircraft plant photo's. What is the most eye catching is the lack of safety devices, almost no one protecting their eyes when drilling or machining, looked like one woman wearing slippers etc. And most of all everyone is fit, must be the good food in those days. So now for us engine types where are the engine factory photo's?

Looks just like P&W today, except they're not all fat, old and drinking coffee ...

I like the F-14 shot a lot...

108 may be 159442, stricken 01.06.1992.

https://www.aviationphotocompany.com/p2 ... #h922aaece

102 should be 159436, to AMARC 17.03.1992

https://www.airfighters.com/photo/15346 ... at/159436/



#103 shot down a Mig-23, but I can't be sure she is in the photo....sadly none of these appear to have survived...

Other than a war, that would have been a good time to live then, until now, since you'd be in your 90's or 100's or gone. Everyone was just nicer in those days.

Good-Year built Fuselage section Martin B-26 Marauder.

Whatever gave you that idea? Society may have made it more impolite to talk about certain things, that didn't keep them from being done.

Aha! That makes more sense than my conclusion (blimp gondola )
