a small sample of the variety of very interesting airplanes from WW2, some are humorous, some are inventive


Flak magnet.. how awesome a name


load out, with humor


Only photo I've seen of the emergency brakes... But I've posted a great story about it before  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-did-they-get-ww2-bomber-airplanes.html


the above airplane is one I've liked the paint on, and posted before, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-unique-airplane-not-just-piece-of.html


B 25 pulled out of a lake in South Carolina


a B25 at the National War and Resistance Museum in Overloon Holland which has an astonishingly huge collection http://www.euro-t-guide.com/See_Coun/Holland/S/NL_See_National_War_Museum_05.htm


Hellcat drones for radioactivity monitoring of the Bikini bomb site


I bet there was hell to pay for smashing some generals favorite limo!


oh man... this is truly maxing out the paint scheme ability to be fierce! Not just the shark grin, but vampire teeth too! Wow!


Seriously, this took a second... but it's called the flying fish.... because the pilots name is Pike!


Jacksonville Florida, has not had a car wash that has ever matched the cool factor of this photo...


Goodness gracious, great ball of fire. And you can quote me on that

All foud by looking through 58 pages of cool planes for several hours at http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=14428&finish=15&start=0

Rockets go boom. That's why the launch pads are very far away from all the rest of the Cape Canaveral station


This Delta rocket was taking a GPS satellite for a ride, but it exploded. Lots of burnt up cars later... when 225 tons of rocket fueled flaming mess rained down... and they don't let cars park too close anymore.

But I get a kick out of the Flying Tigers shark toothed grin motif!
