You've heard of the "relief tube" --- that refers to the little one for urine.

This one is hooked up to the pilot's seat and is for getting rid of hydrogen/methane combinations ... MEREDITH EFFECT...I doan need no stinkin Meredith Effect!

Oh how wonderful these P-51As are: in the CBI they did ground attack (strafing), glide bombing, air-to-air combat and escort fighters for bombers.

DOWN "low" nothing in the CBI Theatre could catch them!

I love 'em almost as much as the plane they descended from, the A-36A Mustang!

Wooden wheels are attached to a P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane so it may be moved around the ramp at the Inglewood, California plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. When it is ready for flight tests, regular landing wheels with rubber tires will be substituted.

Model makers prepare accurately scaled miniatures of planes built at the Inglewood, California plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. Here an experimental model of the P-51 ("Mustang") is being finished for wind tunnel and other tests.

I actually posted a couple of pictures, that one included I think about a year and a half ago in another thread, somewhere in the 800 range I think.

Picture of the day.

I hope this becomes a regular thread. Post a single picture of anything to do with WW2, including the years prior and just after. Here's the first one. USS Cowpens rolls heavily during Typhoon Cobra, December 17th, 1944.

There are a lot of them in the National Archives and the Library of Congress.
