Somewhere near Foggia, Italy, 1944This 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! (Contributed by Kelly Baquet Kalcheim.

...if you make a boat out of spare P-38 parts!  Kunming, China, circa 1944(Contributed by Aileen Garra Lim) 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! |

You've got to click on this photo to view the enlarged version and truly appreciate all the P‑38 goodies that Hayman Tam has collected. He has some unique items, as well as some very rare items (such as a piece of the "Glacier Girl" skin). How many P‑38s can you count? |
