1st place
B-24 Liberator by rahto

tigger3: I agree with Tick, and Frank and your choice of editing is superb! tigs=^..^=

mesmerized: Congratulations, Bob!...a beauty of a shot.

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.

2nd place
Nekromanteion by Vickid

Dunstickin: Congrats on runner up Vicki...I like this, and did vote on it..

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

casechaser: Vicki, your information is not quite accurate for we all know that the true door to hell is the one that leads into my dentist's office!

I think you have a masterly picture here, rich in color, detail, and history. Should you decide to enter it, I wish you all the best. I for one think you have a winner.

5th place
Dewey Defeats Truman by 0930_23

jerseygurl: Congratulations, Tick, on taking 5th place in the contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

corngrowth: ---Thomas E. Dewey, New York Governor, was heavily favored and Harry S. Truman's win was considered a major upset---

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), without giving any opinion from my side, the history has repeated itself actually in 2016,with the difference that the Republicans have won the 2016 election.

Good entry for the current History contest.
Wish you Good Luck with it!
