Cool!

That Soviet AA story - is that a recon Bf 110? I'm assuming that is a camera port under that fuselage?

 

[hawkeye2an]

I do believe it's a 110, but there are others that are more expert on German A/C. My specialty is the US stuff.

 

[Njaco]

Yeah I agree its a 110 I've just never seem a port under the fuselage like that. I'm thinking its a camera post.

Had time for a second posting today.

The second pic is HEAVILY retouch or made up entirely, judging by the 'halo' around each man. Don't know why, it's nothing special.

Good stuff! I wonder if the last article is a referance to the Battle of the Bismarck Sea?

The timing would be about right. I have been posting them in the order they are in the scrap book some have dates, but most don't. Wish dad would have included the dates on all, but he was only 11 when he started the book.

Great stuff, that's a fantastic collection.
