The parts that aren't on fire, certainly. I loved going across that lake from Fremantle to Perth. Awesome view.

 

Fur missiles!

 

"Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc LF686 at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Part of the last proudction order of Hurricanes in 1944, this Hurricane ended up with the Smithsonian after the RAF Museum traded it for the last remainig Hawker Typhoon at that time, which had gone to the USA in WWII for flight tests"

 

"KV-1 Soviet Heavy Tank in Dvorstsovaya Square, Saint-Petersburg. One of the few alive defenders of Leningrad. Produced in September of 1941. Fought in defensive battles, and fell through the ice of Neva river in february of 1942. Pulled from bottom in 2011 and now it's only original running KV-1."

"“We were fighting the elements. The snow was deep, the wind was very high, we could barely see or hear. We were so numb and tired that we couldn't hit the ground when the artillery fire fell beside us.” Thomas W. Gilgore, 121st Infantry, shows the strain of his time in the Hürtgen Forest.

"T-38 amphibious scout tanks in their natural environment. In practice when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 they were thrown into the fight like any other tank ."

"Lockheed P-38J-10-LO Lightning 42-67762 at the National Air and Space Museum. While this aircraft was never flown in combat, it was once flown in a test flight by Richard Bong, America's highest scoring ace with 40 kills. This is also probably the most original P-38 left in existence."
