A bazooka verses a Panther.

Wow, that bazooka photo is a great action one... not seen it until now, but it maybe a setup for the cameraman, looks like the nearside track is already off?

Capt. Vick · Jan 21, 2014

I imagine that was staged for the camera.

Njaco · Jan 21, 2014

I agree guys. But still kewl!

Capt. Vick · Jan 21, 2014

Very cool. Wish I was the guy shooting it!

'Hoch soll er leben ...' ('For he's a jolly good fellow'), celebrating Major Adolf Galland's fortieth victory, 25 September 1940.

Nice one. Notice the Geschwader 'hack' n the background, looks like a Me108.

syscom3 · Jan 21, 2014

The Panther main gun is depressed all the way down. A giveaway that the tank was unmanned and probably already damaged.

I think you are right Terry. I didn't even see it until I read your post and went back and looked. I need to be more observant.

I saw that too. Kinda like down-ward .50s on a B-17.....

Great photo.
Can't help thinking "Hey, where do you want the runway?"
"Oh, stick it between that wood and the hill there, with that cliff at the end." !!

Time for another Jeep, eh?

USS Anzio (earlier USS Coral Sea) CVE-57, rolling in heavy seas. The severe list also happened during tight turns while at full speed. According to LCDR Sharer, the Anzio once lost three unsecured planes overboard when GQ was sounded and the carrier began to turn into the wind....

Wrecked German Heinkel He 111 on a landing field in Egypt, circa 1942. Note the wrecked Messerschmitt Bf 109FG and the RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk.II.

I'd like the panel with the artwork from the He111 on my wall!
