Hi good people,
It has been a while since my last visit and after reading the comments I think it is time to add a few more pictures to this thread. There are so many to choose from with letters, maps and other things that seem less action packed but probably still interesting to those who study this time in history.
Here are a couple of bombing runs.
Edit. Pics don't seem to be viewing, will check later as I have to run....

In this group of pictures we have an attack on a Japanese Cruiser in Rabaul 29 July 1943 (note bomb circled in red about to impact). Another devastating attack by a large number of aircraft with notes. For me, Image no.4 was fascinating as I'm pretty sure that is some of the crew clearly running for cover if you zoom in. A bombing crew from 6500 feet did a pretty good run on a Japanese Destroyer landing the bombs just behind, a lucky escape. And a Skip Bombing run on a Japanese sub-chaser scores a direct and devastating hit.
