    The 29 in front looks to change heading…it’s possible/probable that the fighter ducks under the next 29 to avoid the guns of the other bombers…clever and ballsy…

    81 years ago today, a paratrooper of the 503rd PIR shakes hands with an Australian “Digger” after their successful capture of Nadzab Airfield on New Guinea.

    The Vietnam reference was why I asked. Found four of them on our boat one time. Attached to some Aussies.

    All Allied bombers are liberators but if you ask Herr Goebbels, they're terrorfliegers!

    Two p-38s and and PV1 Ventura in the center. The p-38s are easy, the Ventura is more of a guess.
