Headline photo of the death of XG332 is an awesome shot. The photographer had two shots in his camera and thought he would use them up seeing his neighbor flying the Lightning. He ended up not flying that day, someone else did. That pilot landed in a greenhouse and survived, sadly the Lightning did not do as well! The last photo on the roll shows a large plume of smoke and the field on fire.
Great pictures Rob. Thanks
I remember seeing that headline photo back in the 60's (ah...the memories).
Tough way to park an EE Lightning !. Thanks Rob, always fun to see this stuff !
Bet that left a BIG hole in the winter wheat! Really a classic photo!
What is that child doing with that M-16?
Demonstrating the light recoil of the 5.56? All I can figure. The DI's used to hold them on their groins and fire em.
Thanks, Bill! Like to see her try that with an M-14. Leave a mark, that would.
I like the rear gunner
A couple of 'Oh s**t ! photo's.[ Lightning, b-24], Good stuff all.
