A different view of the WW2

An extensive, interesting and fantastic collection of color photos, many of them rare, showing aircraft and crews in action during WW2. These incredible pictures I share with you and can be viewed through the link below. Like me, I hope you will also be surprised and enjoy the photos.

What’s the story with the all silver RAF B-17 for example?
Photo taken at Rockcliffe, Ontario, she is a 168 Sq RCAF B-17, the unit was specially formed to carry mail to and from service personnel stationed in the U.K. , the Mediterranean and Canada. They began the service in Dec. 1943.

The lion cub on the Me 109 is rather distinctive too.

Franz von Werra, the one that got away. The lion cub was called Simba.

Be aware, not all of these photos are WW2 vintage. Sally B is in there, and a couple of others too. Some are previously seen too.

Thank you for that. It’s a remarkable collection and raises quite a few questions. What’s the story with the all silver RAF B-17 for example? The lion cub on the Me 109 is rather distinctive too.

Don’t expect an answer: another few cents towards Pampa’s Porsche however…
