USS Colorado with her anti-torpedo nets deployed, May 1942. No photo credit available.
Very cool picture. The good ole Renault FT.17, one of the most influential tanks in history. The guy who conceived the idea behind the tank was way ahead of his time in the concept of fast moving groups of large numbers of small, agile armour back in the Great War, when tanks were the size of and had the manoeuvrability of small houses! The FT.17 was the first tank to be widely exported and built under licence. Still serving in the French army in large numbers at the outbreak of WW2, although largely in a training role, their turrets were removed and used by the Germans as static defensive positions in and around the Atlantic Wall.
The impracticalities of using a 1 to 1 scale route map.

Adolf Hitler presents to the head of the Luftwaffe Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering a painting by Hans Makart "Lady with a Falcon" (drawn in 1880) from a museum robbed by the Nazis.
Both Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering were passionate collectors of works of art: by 1945 Hitler's collection numbered 6,755 paintings, and Goering's collection – 1375. The pictures were acquired by illegal methods in countries occupied by Germany. Legal disputes over the legal status of some of the paintings from former collections of leaders of Nazi Germany are still going on.

Looking at the number in the bottom right corner 54240 A.C., I would say this is a photo from NARA. Two more photos with the same a/c: P-61A s/n 42-5528 "Jap-Batty" of the 6-th Night Fighter Squadron making a fuel stop at Kwajalein atoll, en route to Saipan. The date is visible on the photos below: 10 June 1944. Source: NARA (found on Fold3).

Pretty sure this is staged. But still a neat photo. A E variant if I am not mistaken.

yes, obviously staged, and it's a B-17F.
