Interesting prospective shots, Catch-22.
That top shot of the P-47 really drives home just how huge those airplanes were.
The girls with the B-25 appear to be the same ones I posted a few pages back (although this is a different shot). I like how the Mitchell looms behind them.
That final shot, with the stewardesses showing their legs is a nice historical piece. That company has since shortened their name to simply "Southwest" and continues to operate today.
I'm sure some of us here remember their infamous "$100 Gambler's special", where if you showed the agent that you indeed had $100 cash in your pocket and wanted to gamble it in Vegas, they'd let you fly down there at no charge.
By the time that practice stopped, I think the amount grew to something like $300 or $500.
….ah, the good ol' days.
