A P-51D Mustang fighter named "MY GIRL" takes off from Iwo Jima. 1945. The long ranges and durations of fighter escort missions for the B-29's were brutal on the pilots. And the abrasive nature of the volcanic dust of the Iwo Jima soils played havoc on the engines of the planes. Another thing for the pilots to worry about as they went on their missions.

Why does it seem like a disproportionate number of the pictures posted in this thread are of German soldiers?

A largely unsung ally: Brazil The Brazil fought bravely in WW2 - MILITARY HISTORY DISCUSSIONS

And a second: Mexico. This is the Aztec Eagles, Mexico's Aztec Eagles allied with America to fight the war in the pacific during WWII - VAntage Point

Why does it seem like a disproportionate number of the pictures posted in this thread are of German soldiers?

Because there are a lot of them, and often have some good dramatic subject. Usa soldiers f.i. did not seem to care and often took pictures of buddies and such.
