You were in South Bend and didn't honk as you drove by? This is a wonderful shot, the B&W works and I like how you captured the bird midflight.

I agree with Mephisto.

Looks like those planes are returning to my country, England, from those fields. It is an interesting set of scans - but the photos themselves are where the real value lies.

this one makes my stomach do headstands!
great shots though, i always wondered if the pilot's were actually aware of what they were doing (and going to cause) in that exact moment when they were releasing the bombs...or maybe they didn't think at all.

Originally posted by violinist123: They aren't called the Great Generation for nothing. These days the news goes nuts over a few thousand casualties. Those days they would lose that in the course of a morning and solider on.

wow, what an unsentimental comment! I was born and raised in Dresden so these pictures make my heart feel like somebody stabbed it with a knife. I know it's all history and we shouldn't look away from what has happend (i'm not proud of the germans either who killed 6 million jews), but i just think your comment is very inappropriate on an international forum (or any forum for that matter).

and even though i have very different feelings than what appears some people here have about these shots, i think they're a great "zeitzeugnis" and legacy of your brother in law's granddad!

My daughters made me photograph squirrels the other day, but none came out as adorable as this little poser!
