Publicity (propaganda?) photos from the WWII era. I would imagine that being colour, they are pretty rare. Interesting snapshot of the times.

GRRRR what's with not being able to edit the title, which the half witted software had decided I might not want in caps?

Ah.... the Shorpy site: there's some really good stuff there. http://www.shorpy.com

 

Quite possibly those Kodachromes were taken with one of these, but we should remember that this wasn't the largest size - 8x10 and even larger for real quality!

 

A bit different nowadays!

It's a bit of a nuisance, it caps the first letter in every word & you can't cap anything else. Hence RAF in the title displays as Raf, WW2 as Ww2 & I don't think you can edit the title after it's posted.

Nice photos, a lot sharper colour than other ones of that time. Interesting engine in photo #3, I've got a theory it's a Twin Wasp Junior, R-1535 in a Douglas O-46 observation plane, but I could be wrong. It doesn't look like a Twin Wasp or Twin Cyclone.

 

Cheers, Willie.
