Google Images-Life magazine, WW2 collection

Some absolutely amazing photos both color and black and white.  Searchable too.  The aviation junkies are having a field day.  This batch is color from Midway

Apparently this is a recent deal.  The news has been making it's way around the aviation and modeling forums for the last week or so. Hyperscale has a section just devoted to this where folks post their finds.

Early P40s in color anyone? :)

exellent find. Immediatley upon seeing the cat flying along with his canopy open, wind blowing by.....It reeked of riding a motorcycle ,....knee's in the breeze. freedom.... that picture explained  why these cats were looking for something to "replace" that feeling, no wonder alot of em wound up , in outfits like the boozefighters".... :aok

I think this picture is striking - mostly due to his eyes.  It *wasn't* a game.    :salute

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
