Cpt.America !

 

and obviously,did it well.

 

Did you ever notice how guys with four door cars always try to position themselves to make it look like a two door in pictures.

 

#2 the B24 Lib,i think may have been victim to late flight over Germany? Have really only lately learned of the fighter mounted rocket cannons they used;to devastating effect.

 

Piiipes!!

 

Like to know the story to this pic. Looks to be some agro there.

 

Pluss or minus 1 inch, close enough for the girl's I date.

 

26 yrs. old...looks like never been used. Most certainly not in anger!

 

Front drive monster! ??

 

Well ****** me!! That looks like the "Dog on the Tuckerbox,,"5miles from Gundegai. Aussie folk lore/poetry/song.

 

Never knew we had those cool tankers here in Aus. Most likely only in NSW.

 

Love this pic!

 

Independants ! a thing of the past.

 

I'm interested to know;just how many oil/fuel companies or brands have there been in the US? Seems nearly every time I enjoy this site I find a new one!

Also of note,British bomber command lost 55000 lives during the conflict.Another fact,lives lost in flying training amounted to around 14000 for the Brits(includes all us colonials I think)! How many US were lost in the same pursuit of victory?

 

Thanks J...You've done it again! (will really call you Magoo,soon. ;-)) )

 

And yeah...I can see where Reo Speed Wagon came from!
