WWII in Colour
« on: November 24, 2011, 05:33:32 PM »
Nothing to do with bush flying but here's an amazing photo slideshow of WWII RAF/SAAF aircraft in colour.  Majority of shots I've never seen before.  Lots of lesser known aircraft are highlighted, too, like Ansons and Austers.  Several nice pics of women in uniform, too.   ;)

I looked through something very similar a while back, but this is a great focus on the air war.. Thanks for sharing, great images and of course a sincere thanks for all those that served and serve today.
