This great photo was apparently taken in Foggia, Italy,
around 1944 -- but we haven't been able to verify exactly
where this beautiful mural was painted. (If any of you
recognize it, let us know and we'll add the info here.)
Check out what they were using for ashtrays!
Diffused, of course.

...if you make a boat out of spare P-38 parts!
(Contributed

was taken in Kunming, China, circa 1944.)
This is an unusual
use for a P-38 tank. Aileen Lim, whose father was
Chief, 4th Photo Tech Unit, sent in this photo of him and his friend, Vernon Woods
(also in the 4th Photo Tech Unit),
who took
an auxiliary gas tank from a P-38 and made it into an
outrigger boat. Fun! |

very rare items (such as a piece of the "Glacier Girl"
