Boys, meet Janie. Ain't she purdy?

I took plenty of photos last session. That last session will be my last for about a week or so, just to give me a breather. What can I say, Turkey Season is coming!

Bombing the airfields.jpg


B-18 bombing the airfields outside of some French city, held by Axis fighters. In all, 18 trucks were destroyed, and 2 grounded airplanes, by the bombs I dropped onto the hangers and outbuildings.

Hello, hello! Wanna join the Allies, Tom? I'll let you say hello, too. :laughing7: I'm planning on learning some technical skills, (that never ends well) and turning this image into WWII nose art for a B-25 I'm saving up for. The plane will then be renamed "Nicole" after my favorite female name.

I had an uncle that was the nose gunner on what the Air Force called the Flying Fortress. I'm thinking it was the B17 bomber. I remember he was the shortest of my uncle's. That why he got the job. You had to be short to get down in the gunner hole.

Donald Sexsaure, an uncle of mine, piloted a B-25 Mitchell, and my other uncle, Jay Troup, was a radio gunner for a B-26 Marauder. My dad was ground crew for those cool 1980s f-15-16 fighter jets.

Nose gunner and tail gunner were the most cramped, dangerous positions on any plane. Tail gunners usually got hit first, and if a plane crash, nose gunners would go... nose first. Kudos to your uncle for having the nerve to do such a dangerous job. :icon_thumright:

Desert Stuka.jpg I fixed up my beloved Stuka with a new paint job, Afrika Corps style. At right is the real deal. 53d45c831e724347042d78f621d4e33a.jpg
