Today, a purty one. An F-16 of the Flyvevåbnet captured before a beautiful Danish evening sky.

Lightnings

Today we bring you a real purty pikshur showing a flight of P-38Es from a well-known series of photos, taken just off the Southern California coast for Lockheed by Eric Miller during early-mid 1942. Miller was able to grab this stellar shot and others in the series from inside the open bomb bay of a Lockheed Hudson.

Enjoy...

The Lady and the Lib

Today we start a new running series that your blogmeister hopes to make a regular thing here at TWW... a series we shall dub 'Planes & Dames'. 'Tis'nt all that original, we concede, but what the hey, sometimes you have to run with the standards.

For the inaugural edition of 'Planes & Dames', we present this atmospheric photo showing a lovely gal posing all gorgeous-like on the assembly line at Consolidated-Vultee's Fort Worth facility with a B-24 as backdrop. And it's not just any B-24; the ship in the photo was B-24J 44-44501, which we believe was the last Lib to roll off the line at Forth Worth in 1944, hence all the extra paint seen applied over the standard OD and gray paint job.
