  1. Poor Old Spike

    Poor Old Spike Discharged

    I ran them through the Irfanview enhancement routine by juggling brightness, darkness, contrast, sharpness, and size.
    I've already posted many of them in wargame clubs such as FGM and Gamesquad, but they'd be more at home here in a proper military history club.
    Many of the originals were poorly or incorrectly captioned, or had no caption at all so don't blame me..:)
    If anybody can supply a correct caption and background comments etc, go ahead.

    I think the plane is Martin B-26 Marauder in and the name of the jpeg confirms this lol
