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.

I'm just trying to figure out what 4 vertically-stacked Lancs in landing configuration (wheels and flaps down) are trying to accomplish?

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."
