1st place
B-24 Liberator by rahto

jerseygurl: Congratulations, Robert, on taking 1st place in the contest!!!!!!!!!

WTFlack: Many Congratulations.

Flmngseabass: Congratulations Robert on FIRST PLACE in the contest. So well deserved!!!

Nikoneer: The Witchcraft was assigned to the 467th Bomb Group, 790 Bomb Squadron. The bomb graphics on the fuselage indicate the number of bombing runs this particular plane made during its career. Not being sure if the number 130 referred to the runs, I took the time to count them... yep, 130. In WWII, crews were allowed to rotate home (or to another duty) after 25 missions. That being said, Witchcraft obviously remained in operation for many crews and is currently the only Liberator still flying. During WWII, the U.S. lost 218 bombers in Europe, as opposed to 12,037 lost for Germany. This one definitely qualifies for the contest, Robert, particularly for an old war historian like me. Good luck with her.

Nekromanteion by Vickid

Lightpainter: This is a great entry. There are aspects of history that we rarely see and are never taught.

Ramad: Very interesting photo and narrative Vicky. This certainly qualifies for the next contest and even a good chance to be the winner!

mesmerized: Congratulations, Lyn!...great shot.

Ramad: Tose tin sheets have withstood wind and weather well I guess. (I don't mean that they are from 1878). Nice find and shot Lyn.
