Great photos, but may I ask what you are doing with 1944 newspapers? My wife won't let me keep last week's newspaper.
My step dad was redoing a house in town and found all of these newspapers under the floors. Told me he was going to throw them out. That is how I ended up with them. The photo in some of them are amazing, just a pain in the a** to scan.......
I have a VERY fragile page from an Australian weekly 'newspaper' dated 6th Dec 1941. It is an article headlined, "Why japan will not enter the war". John.
I built a large model of a B-24 when I was a boy and one of the color schemes shown in the directions was sorta like that one, big mouth and multi-colored dots. Of couse, I opted for the combat-ready version. I think it is still in my mom's attic.
No need to damage something like that. National Library of Australia has been scanning newspapers dating back to 1803: NLA Australian Newspapers Some amazing stories to be had on events in the ETO from a "down under" perspective. Just pick a date and run with it!
The assembly ship in the OP is SPOTTED ASS APE of the 458th BG, 754th Squadron. S (Thumb Nail PICS) SPO - SPZ
Please don't damage it on my account. Is it one of the newspapers in the link aleineyes provided? Thanks! Thanks also. Good suggestion.
