These P-40 dives look quite steep for being that low IMHO. I'll bet this is not a photoshopped photo.

Looks a little steep for me. I'm guessing a little darkroom creativity.

Really depends upon the speed..if the planes are slow that's not all that bad.

I'm pretty sure it's edited. The shadows on the "diving" P-40s don't really match the rest of the photo.

They are probably just landing

Just flaring over the threshold?

Hmmmm

Better be three Bob Hoovers then

I am not a pilot, but they look to be coming in too steeply, and too close together, to be landing. Also, the three images are too similar to one another - three photos of the same aircraft, or perhaps one photo copied and pasted three times, with a little work on the propellers to differentiate these?

No, I think all three are different aircraft, cut out from another picture of a formation flight, and inserted into this picture. Look at the wing angles, how far the wingtip is above each fuselage, and the stars on the fuselage in relation to the trailing edges of the wings.

Yes, I agree that it looks like a composite photograph.

I'm puzzled as to why someone would go to the trouble, though. Seems to me that undoctored photos of those a/c would be sexy enough for public relations release.
