Some interesting pics...I liked Rommel pushing his car... :D

The WW I submarine control room was mind-boggling... :eek:

The pic of the V-1 stirred my memory...Years ago, one of my supervisors at Kimberly-Clark was raised in London during WW II. He told me that the V-1 was called [by Londoners] - a 'London Taxi'...I was puzzled by that, but he had an old clipping [almanac page?] showing that -

In the first four years of war British casualties (including P.O.W.'s and missing) were 387,996. The number killed and injured in traffic accidents was 588,742.

Droll people, the British... :rolleyes: :thumbup::cheers:

Lon,

Great pic of the B 32 assembly line. It was a back up to the B 29. The US Navy used them as long range maritime patrol aircraft in the Pacific.

Is that the Vega plant??? In Dallas???

No, it's Consolidated's Fort Worth Plant. My bad, the B 32 was only operated by the AAF. I beleive they also built the B 36's there post war.
