Some fascinating pics. The last one is especially provocative.

Wow, great link, thanks! And yes, that last photo is surprising to me, considering the circumstances.

The tenth picture is certainly captioned incorrectly. Land based twin engine bombers; not taking off from a carrier.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Yep.

In the first picture, the Japanese pilot in the center of the upper row looks like Chris Rock. Another example of immortal celebrities.
But really, I'm surprised at that last picture, too. I'm sure there was a lot of #%&*$#' on the part of the guys assigned to that detail.

I'm sure of it.
