N.O.S. Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 That's nice! A view of this recovery from the other side is in one of Pat Ware's recent books. Sad Sack was also a 388th BG B-17 (amongst others no doubt). p.s. That is a WLF Series 4 (can someone pass me my anorak please). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Bit of a coincidence - I thought that name (Freckleton) was familiar, there's been a group of Liberator crash photos on Ebay for months now , school was demolished. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/freckleton-school-2ww-usaaf-liberator-crash-photo-file-/200498479306?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item2eaea400ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosrec Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 many years ago went to the states and saw how our US cousins were into painted leather jackets. Found out later it was from war birds painted with " cab art" and air crew having jackets painted to suit. The idea was adopted by Hells angels after a famous air crew i believe. What ever i decided i liked the idea of putting something on our trucks.Hence forth all our trucks had a name or slogan. Fast forward just found this pic on internet never seen it before its one of our trucks on the front wind deflector is a slogan i got of the back of a bikers jacket at a bikers rally in Helmsley NY " LIFE IS A BED OF ROSES SO WATCH OUT FOR PRICKS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean N Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Some named vehicles in the photo collection Bernard's just posted (http://vmartois.forumactif.fr/t448-photos-en-vrac), mainly just stencilled capitals and mostly on tanks; I spotted 'Dillinger', 'Finalist', 'Dingbat', 'Cupid', 'Agnes IV' (half track; wonder what happened to the other three - IV was missing the front axle!), 'Ink Spots', 'Snookie' (on a Weasel), 'Mid-Forceps' (on a medic half-track), 'Chemin Des Dames' (??? - some letters obscured) and 'Romilly' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Chemin Des Dames, Track or Road of the Ladies, was infamous during the Great War, the French equivalent of the Somme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_des_Dame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Ashby Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 one in colour........... Not seen that picture before very nice, 327 glider Inf. One of my old school teachers back in the 1960's won a Bronze star at Bastogne with that unit. He married a local Newbury girl and returned to the area to settle down. I'm guessing the photo is taken in the Alps at the end of the war? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
