B-17 Hit by flak (Color)

Here is a story behind these photos:
I have recently been blessed to have these in my possession.
These photos were in a burnt out building and dug out of the garbage.
This fire was in an apartment complex and there was literally tons of garbage thrown away and these were saved by a family member of mine.
My boy and I are war nuts in a way.My family knows this lol. Old things and the internet are my thing. So I thought it was ironic for me to get a hold of these photos. I believe it was for me to put them out there for the world to see.

I do not know the people in the photos.I wish I would of had the chance though.So I thought this was the best I can do for them.That is to let people know they served for a great cause.

If any one knows anyone please reply.


American Soldiers

Landing wheels recede as this U.S. Army Air Forces Liberator bomber crosses the shark-nosed bows of U.S. P-40 fighter planes at an advanced U.S. base in China. An American soldier waves good luck to the crew, off to bomb Japan., ca. 1943

One of the goals of the Ichigo Operation of 1944 was to take the airfields from where the Americans launched their air attacks against Japan.
