Particularly like the caption to the first pic:
“Getting ready: Members of the flight and ground crews of a B-17 bomber named ‘Honey Chile II’ make adjustments to their plane prior to a mission, Polebrook, Northamptonshire, England, fall 1942″
Using a piece of cloth and not much else in yet another obviously staged picture. Hence the good quality of the images. Nice pictures, though!

Great photos but just completely ignored the drivel written around them.
Truly beautiful photos.

Nice pics but “But as the conflict dragged on, the Flying Fortresses and their crews would face heavy loses, the most dramatic of which came in October 1943 when 60 bombers were destroyed and 600 pilots perished in a single raid in Germany.” shows ignorance on the part of the sub-editor.
Several hours ago I pointed the error out to them, but as it has 313 comments I have no idea if they have printed my comment or not.
cheers
