"Though a wonderful atmospheric photograph of this famous plane, you can see just how far along the fuselage the dirt and soot from the exhaust stacks would reach from pulling contrail at high altitude."

Ugh???
Yeah, I wasn't sure what the author of the picture meant when he wrote that as well. Looks like verbal diarrhea to me.

Green is known for doing something brilliant and at the same time, completely reckless. Anyone remember what it was?


I didn't.

But these people did!

I'd like to point out that now, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between a colourized photo, a photo that's been cleaned up, and a natural colour photo. It's done so well with new software these days...

That prop nick I would bet money on being caused by a rock during runup or takeoff.  Typical type damage, have filed a few of those out myself.

True enough Colmbo - most of the airstrips they were using were either grass or dirt - most starting off as grass, then a few heavy take-off's in the rain, those 'grass' strips turn to mud real quick and then you end up with a 'dirt strip' for a runway. (And that is from my own military experience) :salute
