In my quest to view and collect wonderful vintage photography I came across a great site featuring some stunning WW2 aircraft and aircraft assembly at the link below.
please note there are numerous pages to view, so go to the bottom of the page to do that.......and also of note........once you select an image...to get the TRUE effect........click on "View Full Size".
enjoy.

I have a WW1 photograph, my grandfather in his flight suit (portrait, shoulder up shot, with leather flying helmet) Do you have any use for it?

Wouldn't it be a cool prank to have someone hidden inside those megaphones, and when the guy reports for duty and puts those plugs in his ear....YELL REALLY LOUD... :D

I've had this site bookmarked for quite a while now, but I have to say this is one of the most beautiful pictures I've seen yet:

that pic tells you everything you need to know about why we won WW2......and sadly.......why we won't win WW3.
