Evan,
The Zero was photographed in 1990 (I think). At the time there were issues with the airframe that were causing the sponsor to take closer look at continued operations. I think they determined the repair to be a bit more than was financially justifiable, in light of the new built (Russian) A6M5s.
The T-34's was a situation you just couldn't see coming... facing aft in the B-25, I rely on the crew to look for backgrounds and lighting and drag the rear view across them... (Its briefed that way!) The captain thought it would "mess me up" to turn on the smoke system, and in doing so he created a really unique scene. I wish I could take credit, but not in this case. I just responded. Its done really close up with a 24mm lens, (I mean close!!)
Look for more new material soon,
Brian
