Being a photography, I understand what you are saying. I get most of these off of Tumblr, so it is a crap shoot as to weather or not you get a copyright with the pic. I post them when they are available. If they aren't, not much I can do but take it down if there is a complaint. Oh, and I edited and gave proper copyright.

A B-17 belly landed. June 11 1944. If this was a B-24, the aircraft would be twisted apart.

Not conversions; redesigns. There's a series of articles, "Washington's Cherry Trees," published in Warship International about 35 years ago about the could-have-beens.
