Thank the pilot who gave me them. I just hoarded them for years...Nice collection!
The 7th pic in, is an SB-17G complete with a lifeboat.
Wow! Amazing to think that somehow the story could be filled in. Looking again you can clearly see the flaps are not down in #2 pix. Do you have any other details? The A-20 pilot I got these from had little remembrance about the events other that what I posted. I would love to hear another else you can share. Also as I told Dave, thank the pilot I just passed them on.I remember a Betty pilot's testimony - No.1 Betty suffered flap trouble to land on Ie-shima, so he had to try it again after No.2 landed.
Thanks for sharing, Tieleader.
Fantastic pics
The resolution of the photos are great, no problem.Give me few minutes I'll try to get some better resolutions.
Think of it as the last great act of defiance by the Imperial military.Why black? Just whatever paint was available?
Yep!Nothing like a final FU to your enemy!
