Those are nice pics. I've never seen such high quality color pics from that era.

I believe so. Some also had wing mounted bomb racks. They also had provision for a torpedo racks ,aerial mines and "Tiny Tim" rocket mounts (externally on the bombay).

Very nice pictures indeed!

I especially like that shot of the P-51 and the 2 different Jug versions lined up!

Looks like 'they' tuned the color balance, and the contrast.

I have done the same thing to older photos, and you can get some really nice results.
