Colour photos, U.S. 1940s

[Hipper]

There are four or five photos that might be of interest on this site:

Captured: Great Depression Photos: America in Color 1939-1943 | Plog ? World news photography, Photos ? The Denver Post (http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2010/07/26/captured-america-in-color-from-1939-1943/2363/comment-page-19/)

Photos 59, 60, 64, 65 and perhaps 66. They show an A-20, a glider, B-25s being built, a P-51, and a woman drilling rivet holes.

The other photos are interesting in themselves.

Is that "P51" an A36?

Shorpy has a collection of 322 Kodachromes (4x5 inch) from the WW2 years.

Many are of aviation subjects - taken for the Office of War Information, etc.

PPRuNe railway/railroad enthusiasts should be interested in the those by Jack Delano taken on/about a freight train as it crossed the western USA in 1943.

The A-36 had dive brakes, can't see any for sure on the top surface of the wing. Probably a P-51A.

The "marine glider" is a TG-3 (Schweizer SGS 2-12).
