Cool pix!

That was my second guess based on the decorations.

 

"[1800 x 897] Sexier than the A-37 Dragonfly. Presently the Fairey Barracuda - it even has bay windows below the wings for that lovely ocean view."

 

"P-47 Thunderbolt cockpit."

 

"County class cruiser HMS Devonshire approaches HMS Mauritius for a mail transfer, October 1942. The size of the men on deck give a sense of the size of these ships [1693 x 1289]"

 

"Avenger on USS Anzio in a Philipine typhoon, 1944."

In "Godzilla vs. Kong" aircraft are sliding all over the place. This is a good illustration of why that's BS.

 

Yeah, and the hasty construction made them a bit top heavy, so you'd be getting "footprints on the bulkheads" in anything over a moderate sea state.

 

"Powerful image captured during the night shift at the Boston assembly line of the Douglas Aircraft Co. plant in Santa Monica, 1940."

 

P-51 cockpit.

 

"British Royal Air Force (RAF) aviation cadets on parade at Cochran Army Airfield , south of Macon, Georgia; April 1942. The first class of RAF cadets arrived at Cochran on 17-August-1941. Cochran was used exclusively for British RAF training until June 1942."

"Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express, the B-24 transport variant, at Natal, Brazil, 1943. The US set a base there playing an important role during WW2 for anti-sub patrols and as a strategic base for aircraft flying between South America and West Africa."

 

"Former Type 1936A German destroyer Z39 underway off Boston , US, Aug 22nd, 1945 after being taken by the US Navy as DD-939 for testing. USN was particularly interested in her high pressure steam propulsion, later was transferred into French service as Q-128 until broken up in 1964. (5683x4283)"

 

"Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo, Bureau Number 1393, after LT John Smith "Jimmy" Thach tipped the aircraft onto its nose on the Saratoga's deck, 11 March 1940. Ensign Edward Butch O'Hare also flew this aircraft several times during the summer and fall of 1940."

Lucky for us he survived this and other ill happenstances.

 

"C-47 engine failure at Pekoa, Espiritu Santo."

 

"HMS Furious sometime between 1917-1918 before the retrofit that would giver her an aft landing deck. [1024 x 736]"
