An A20 Havoc of the 47th BG had to belly land. Here it is after being loaded onto a truck. Note the wrecked hangar in the back.

Geat to see the A-20 getting steady play here, Sys - all theaters - Allies - Soviets - yet it has never been popularized, iconized, the way the Mitchell B-25 has. I am not aware that there is a single A-20 still flying. Tough, multi-taskable, bird, IMO

Mass "Aloha" on U.S. Navy Lexington-class aircraft carrier USS Saratoga's (CV-3) flight deck, at Pearl Harbor, 10 September 1945, as 500 WAVES put leis around the necks of departing Sailors in traditional Hawaiian style. A resounding kiss sped each man on his way. Saratoga was transporting Navy personnel back to the mainland for discharge.

The first of the super carriers.

USS Midway (CVB-41), lead ship of her class, in Hampton Roads, Virginia, 10 September 1945. This carrier is now a tourist attraction at San Diego. A great ship to tour.

It was not a medal, but a badge.

On the left on the badge there is an inscription (ОСОАВИАХИМ) - (OSOAVIAKHIM), this is an abbreviation (Society for the Promotion of Defense, Aviation and Chemical Industry).
