TBD Devastator at Kaneohe Field. Presumably some time after the 7 Dec attack? Rudimentary facility, but at least it has some camo applied, and it is armed.

I wonder if there isn't a radiator in that little "breezeway" between the lower wing and the fuselage.

According to research, it was an evaporation cooler. I am not sure how it worked. Evidently the plane never flew.I wonder if there isn't a radiator in that little "breezeway" between the lower wing and the fuselage.

This one predates my employment at Republic Airlines by about 12 years. But I always thought it was an Amazing Picture. The Captain of the CV-580 was able to land the plane when it had a Mid air collision with a C-150 while on approach to then Mitchel Field (now MKE) The 1st officer was severally injured but all the passengers on the Convair were uninjured. The same can not be said for the occupants of the C-150. The fuselage of the Cessna is still attached to the Damaged part of the Convair, you can see one of the main wheels sticking out of damaged portion of the C-580. Convair like Grumman built a very tough Product.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 bearing the markings of the Gruppenkommandeur of I/JG 26 (I Gruppe
Jagdgeschwader 26), France, August 1940. This would have been either Hptm Kurt Fischer if the
picture was taken before the 22nd, or Hptm Rolf Pingel if taken after.

A Ju 87 B Stuka of the 4/StG 77 at Bouchy airfield near Evrecy, France. August 1940. It is being loaded
with 500 lb bombs, most likely for shipping attacks.
