A-36's 42-83707, 42-83716 and 42-83715 in flight. Looks like they are fresh from the factory and flying over Southern or Central California.

Lepa Radić, a Yugoslav partisan, was only 17 when she was hanged by the Germans on February 8, 1943. Minutes before hanging, she was given a choice to escape death by revealing her comrades' names. She replied "you'll know when they avenge me".

On this day 85 years ago. Nov 19th 1935 Martin B-12 bomber at March Field, California. This type of bomber was state of the art and highly advanced for 1935. By 1939, it was obsolete. The plane saw service in Asia at the outbreak of the war and was promptly slaughtered in battle.

Appears to be German Paratroop helmets.
Paratrooper variants
Experimental versions of the Karabiner 98k intended for the German paratroopers that could be transported in shortened modes were produced. The standard Karabiner 98k was too long to be carried in a parachute drop. However, the German paratroopers made only limited combat drops after the 1941 Battle of Crete; there was therefore little need for these rifles. Specimens with folding stocks (Klappschaft) and with detachable barrels (Abnehmbarer Lauf) are known to have been produced at Mauser Oberndorf.[
