More Cool WWII pics

Found this on British Car forum. Hope it's not a repeat. I never get tired of this stuff.

I've got a collection of rather gory WWII pics found in a family member's house. So gory that no one else would take them. The worst parts of human history must be remembered so we don't repeat them.

Enjoyed looking at the link posted--thanks.

Well we did too until they disappeared. Either my brother or sister have them and deny it. Apparently soldiers like my dad would trade photos.

I could name every plane in those posts. (I'm sick, I know.)

I find this one fascinating. Well, enough to share. The whole thread is cool.

Very cool pics. I'm sure my great grandpa helped put together some of those P-40s, he worked at the Buffalo factory.

Me too.

One thing I am well aware of is I'm glad I was never a crewman on a Swordfish.

Or, the cargo in one of those gliders. That pic of the Market Garden LZ showed more than a few crashes and lots of smoke from a couple that went way wrong.

Great find! Thanks for posting, bill.

I'm actually glad my Grandfather didn't take pics.

Market-Garden was scary - it's amazing how close we got to losing a war that was well on its way to being over at that point.

I saw one in person at Oshkosh. Jesus Christ! Take on the Bismark?
