A neat enough image - but a closer look at the 4th FG Mustang showed a very unusual color on the anti-glare panel:

I can't say I'd have guessed light blue if that had been a black and white photo!

General Dwight Eisenhower received a tumultuous welcome from the people of London June 12, when he drove in an open carriage through the city to the Guildhall where he received the Freedom of the city of London. After the ceremony, Gen. Eisenhower drove to the Mansion House where he was guest of honor at a luncheon given by the Lord Mayor and attended by the Prime Minister. General Eisenhower standing in his open carriage waves to the gigantic crowd which assembled at the Mansion House to greet his arrival after the Freedom of the city had been bested on him by the Lord Mayor in London June 12, 1945.

Working on the Tail Fuse of a AN-M64 "Carpetbagger" General Purpose 500lb bomb in the Forward bomb bay of a B-29 Superfortress. This picture in B&Whas been around since WW2. Here is a colorized version of it. The name of the mechanic working on the bombs has been lost to time. But he has become immortalized as this picture continues to circulate 75 years after the picture was snapped.
