The Battle of Shanghai (1937), known in Chinese as the Battle of Songhu, was the first of the twenty-two major engagements fought between the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China and the Imperial Japanese Army of the Empire of Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the entire war.

That style of mustache ('toothbrush mustache') was common during the latter part of the 19th century and first part of the 20th century. Men who thought their noses were too big often wore one of these, and it does, indeed, seem to 'balance' out a big nose. Hitler thought his nose was too big and started wearing one at some point. The style became VERY UNPOPULAR after WWII, and you can guess why.What on earth inspired to that 'thing' under his nose?
I think so. The quality of the shots and of course subject matter are very similar.

I've seen this photo of the massive gathering many times and have always wondered where the porta-potties were. Can you imagine being in the middle of this crowd about 2 hours after eating a bad bratwurst? Considering the size of the thing there must be at least a couple of hundred people in the crowd at any time that need to 'spend a penny' really, really badly. Just my odd thoughts.I think so. The quality of the shots and of course subject matter are very similar.

These are actually A-36 dive bombers, the first incarnation of the P-51. They had Allision V1710 engines. With a few modifications and the insertion of a Merlin engine, you have the P-51A.Workers put the finishing touches on just completed P-51s at Inglewood, California in 1942.
