A destroyed A-20 47th Bomb Group. Looks like a bomb went off prematurely? Or hit by a German bomb?

Children from the Otwock Jewish orphanage in a forest, Poland, September 1945. Most of these kids were survivors of concentration camps, and had profound psychological and physical ailments that lingered for many years. The legacy of World War II is human pain.

Interesting, great visability for the crew.

But they better be very good friends, and short to boot. They're practically sitting in each other's laps, the cockpit is so cramped. I tried to sit in the cockpit of one once. Worse than an MG Midget or an A H Sprite! Couldn't get my knees under the instrument panel and feet on rudder pedals, and head and shoulders scrunched forward to fit under roofline. In Key West it was like an oven in that cockpit...an hour AFTER sundown.
