Interesting...all those holes look just about the right size for patching bullet or flak damage.

note the prop blade behind the stripped-out engine; is that from a B-29?

cheers

Mike,
The photog was Paul Almquist. He was a professional photog in real life but a supply Sgt in the AAf (go figure!). He had a photo studio here in Salem but has been deceased for years.
If I'd turned in a photo like this in photography class I'd get an A just for composition!

No kidding! I suspect though that people like Paul in their time couldn't snap pictures off like we can today. It was propably part of a more expensive art/past time to carefully consider the subject and compose it accordinginly.

I'll be asking you about the photographers of your other pictures in the other thread. I hope you don't mind.

Mike
