Default little pink spitfires for you and me

got this from the m4t site..


Taken in late 44 these 16 Sq PR-IX's use a captured airfield from the Luftwaffe, note the cleverly camouflaged hanger.
These pink Spitfires were used to take low-level oblique pictures on days when there were some clouds, near sunset or sunrise,these aircraft were also used for dropping pictures and messages to field headquarters by placing them into the old 44 gallon-size drop tanks, and dropping the tank from just above the ground

Default never forget!

God, let us never forget those times in human history where despots and tyrants have imposed great suffering and unimaginable heartache as they attempted to impose their will upon us. And in those times men and women stood fast and hard...sometimes against overwhelming odds and met the onslaught ...denying their fears...facing uncertainty...in the hopes that "right shall prevail". Thank you, all you boy and girls, who sat in foxholes in sub zero weather, sailed the brutal seas, soared at 20,000 feet in hostile skies risking all you had so we could be a free people. And to you brave souls who made the most honorable and supreme sacrifice and left your lives there...please accept our deepest thanks. May God hold you deeply in his heart as we should. And may we never forget....ever! This weekend, where ever you are, find a veteran..shake their hand and tell them "thank you".
