Oh, I hosed up that second picture when I scanned it. scroll full right to capture how awesome it is.  See all the crew chiefs laying on the wings? Apparently the angle of the cockpit was steep enough on the roll that the crew chiefs guided them to runway. :)  Awesome, eh?

I'll see your WWII color photos and raise you a color video of WWII gun cam footage and some very nice clips of some P47s

Oh and at about 020 in the clip a very nice example of convergance.
You can actually see the rounds crisscrossing one another. very cool
