Image 26(below) shows the people who actually built the Mustang P51 and the B-25 bomber

QuoteOctober 1942. "Thousands of North American Aviation employees at Inglewood, California, look skyward as the bomber and fighter planes they helped build perform overhead during a lunch period air show. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 'Billy Mitchell' bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 'Mustang' fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe."

 

The Photographer in me is shouting!  transparency ! transparency !!

The images are just mind boggling even after over half century!! The quality beats even $3000 Pro D-SLR of today! Imagine how they would have preserved the photos so immaculately..

Really nice Sat
