Is that panel to repair flak damage or censorship?

I was thinking censorship. I have another one I want to post, but the image isn't censored at all. Is that a no-no?

That's above my pay grade.

Ask a mod. They are quite approachable and will give a reason if they say no or if they say we would prefer you did not post that.

Okay. I won't post that.

C'mon, nobody would bolt a plate to aircraft skin to censor a picture. By the way, there was nothing to censor there.

 

[special ed]

Note it is in line with the prop arc. Ice damage slung from prop?

 

[Wurger]

It is a additional plate to give some more of protection to the pilots. the plate was mounted on both sides of the cockpit. It can be found in many pics of B-24 of different versions.

 

[Viking1066]

Correct. It must be damage.

 

[Airframes]

Not damage - the armour plate was fitted after the artwork was painted. This was common, and can be seen on various aircraft.

 

[Wurger]

Correct. It must be damage.

I agree with Terry. It is not any damage. Just the arts had been applied before the additional plates were attched. See the images above.

 

[Viking1066]

Right. You addressed this in 2013. I wasn't here yet.

Ah.

The youth of today cannot remember anything that did not happen in the last ten years.

 

[Gnomey]

Good shots!

The youth of today can't remember anything that didn't appear on their instagram.
