    It was odd. I read your clues and looked at her again and I thought at first she might be a Kennedy. I looked at her eyes and thought she looked more like Jackie O. It was really a WAG on my part. It was a good pic.

    Vathra, you can post a pic in my place.

    Okay, three days have passed and no Vathra.

    Who is the man, third from the left in the front row, in the picture below?

    He is now deceased and was nationally known in the US throughout the 60s and early 70s.

    The lady has just signed her name to a new B-24, which I blanked along with the serial number. Otherwise, google is too powerful.

    Nope

    She appeared in many silent films, and appeared as herself in one of the cheesy 'disaster' movies in the 70's.

    Not Lilian Gish.

    Aside from her silent films, she is best known for a post-war Hollywood film about Hollywood. She was nominated for Best Actress for the role, but didn't win.

    Could it be Gloria Swanson? I know she was in Sunset Boulevard, and that seems to fill one of the clues, but I thought it won some Oscars (maybe not for her?), and she was in one of those goofy Airport flicks wasn't she? I forget which one.

    Yep, Gloria it is. Airport 1975 is the one she was in.

    The photo was taken 4 October 1943 at the Ford Willow Run plant. The aircraft is 42-52117. It was delivered to Bruning, Nebraska on 27 October where the 449th Bomb Group was preparing for overseas movement, and assigned to the George Fergus crew who named her Two Ton Tessie from Nashville, Tenn. On 29 May 44, Two Ton Tessie was shot down by fighters near Weiner-Neustadt, Austria with all 10 crew members becoming POWs. The Fergus crew had 43 mission credits at the time they were shot down. Below is unaltered photo and a photo of the Fergus crew in front of the same a/c, just before flying her overseas.


    Jeff, your google-proof pic will have to wait a bit, Mr. C is up.

    Well, I thought it might be Gloria from the clues, but I sure wouldn't have guessed her from the photo. I guess I just never saw her in profile often enough to make the connection.

    This one is going to be far too easy, but it is the only "odd" one I have in my photo collection which might be at least fun.

    Hochdruckpumpe long range, multi-chamber cannon?


    It ain't necessarily google-proof, just should take some more effort.

    Bingo, I knew that would be toooooo easy, but it was the only wierd thing I had just laying around to put up. It was the V-3 by numerical designation or code name "Hochdruckpumpe" (high pressure pump), or even the "millipede" in the slang reference to the weapon.

    Yer turn Jeff!

    I had just read an article about it a few weeks ago. :D



    The soldier on the right is a Capt Daniels. Who is the soldier on the left?

    I'll give a hint. He is associated with sports.

    Here's a hint or two.

    He was born in Tennessee and played sports at an Ivy League school.

    Another hint.

    He coached football at two well-known Southern schools.
