Well boys, it's been a nice restful month relaxing after spending a couple of years kicking Nazi ass, now I'm off to the Pacific to give the other half of the Axis a kick in the nads.

A captured and damaged MiG-3. It seems that that's the same plane seen in the pic in my post #11852

A pretty cloudscape spoiled by some crappy photoshopping of the same Lancaster image over the top.

Perhaps someone will start a new thread called "Seein' Ain't Believin'" dedicated exclusively to PhotoShop Creations ... it's got you written all over it Smokey

Caption - "Twenty-millimeter machine guns for planes. The muzzle break of a machine gun for the Air Corps must be right. An inspector in a big auto plant now converted to war work examines each piece as it travels down the production line. Oldsmobile, Lansing, Michigan"

Caption - "Tank manufacture (Chrysler). A large portion of the 10,000 skilled workers turning out twenty-eight ton M-3 tanks at the huge Chrysler tank arsenal in Detroit have spent years in the employ of the Chrysler company. They have learned the precision methods needed for automobile production, and their past experience is invaluable for work on the tanks which will make our new Army the equal of any in the world in mechanized power. This worker is turning and facing a cupola ring."
