I'll be damned if that chap next to the halftrack is in WWII. His uniform and rifle are spotless. Yet his face has been "realistically" blacked a little. And tell me where he would have been to be wearing a british style helmet? By the time America was fighting any major battles they were all wearing that M1 helmet of theirs.

I checked out a few of the aircraft photos. At least some appear to be recent ones of restored warbirds but others are genuine enough. Nonetheless, it's a good resource to add to my Favourites. Thanks for link Skunker.

It is real, but that picture is staged. If you check out the rest of the photos, you'll see lights hanging nearby. For your reference, the pics of the black borders around them were taken from the Library of Congress photo gallery.

If you can help spot those fake ones, I'll remove them. Thanks for your comments.

No need to remove anything. I can't be certain so take no notice of me. Some rare shots there.

From what you said I suspect it's your site. Wink
