WW II Images
Some really high quality images taken 70 years ago ... They are amazing and have lasted really well, I just wonder how much post processing was done after scanning.

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
God loves stupid people, that is why he made so many of them.
Re: WW II Images
Good pictures. The site linked back to here http://www.shorpy.com/image/tid/179 which shows many more images from the same era. Some fascinating and very high quality stuff.

Those photos look as they have been enhanced with modern techniques , but if you look at the aircraft and gun everything looks brand new , but if it was a recreated photo and it was 70 years old it wouldnt look that good , so I reckon the ring is genuine .

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
