More incredible pics from an old brownie camera!

These photos are priceless… Where have these pics been hiding for the past 65 years? …… Here is why these guys were called “The Greatest Generation” — and they were… | Pick's Picks of the Day
  • There are some really great archival shots there.

    I've never heard of a Spitfire “tipping-off” a V1...that took some major cojones - or seen a Bomber on pontoons. (though I would imagine they could think of many ideas to improve a position)

    There was also a program on NOVA awhile back, the showed the Japanese submarine aircraft carriers - that was something new as well...

    Some quite unique pictures to be lost for so long. I also don't think that the measure of greatness should be associated with our willingness to fight a war -- but rather in the intellect and ability to build, preserve, and maintain a land and the planet. We have sorely been failing in those qualities for too long.

      Quite true Sal...problem with the world it is not built for long periods of peace, not good for business. Shame on them.
