Hi Guys,
Some of these photos are sort of tank based most aren't...but are still very interesting..and a couple are amazing.....I have just been sent them in an email so I thought that people might be interested in them........ Japanese Kawanishi H8K seaplane after strafing. Kwajalein Squad of Rufe's at Bougainville. These things were very nimble even with the pontoons. The A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well, suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed was not affected; however, the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment. Snow on deck. USS Philippine Sea North Pacific 1945 HARVS on the way in shot by a P-47. Rare shot.
Deck crew climbing up to get the pilot out. He did.
That’s a fuel tank his foot is on. Empty
Or FULL
German "KARL" mortars. Sebastopol
Reloading a KARL.....................One for the 'Scratch-builders I think !! BOOM
'Ave It you Commies!!!.......Look at the recoil cylinders on full extension
Macchi 202v
Italian 303 Bombers over N. Africa
Ju 88 loading a torpedo. Outside Bastogne German 280mm K5 firing LOOK at the amazing pattern of the propellant smoke as it leaves the barrel...is it caused by the 'Rifling' in the barrel ?? U.S. munitions ship goes up during the invasion of Sicily V1 Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1.
