1st place
B-24 Liberator by rahto

mesmerized: Marvelous capture of this interesting old aircraft...love the tones...great entry, Bob...best of luck in the contest.

0930_23: Congrats on your win BoB. I knew it was a good one.

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

Ramad:

mesmerized: Congratulations, Vicki!...well done.

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.

The Old Smithy by LynEve

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.

5th place
Dewey Defeats Truman by 0930_23

trixxie17: That is always a good one to see Tick - I love Tribune blunders as I always hated that paper.

corngrowth: Owd Fella Tick (OFT), congratulations for your 5th place in the 'History' contest.
Well done!

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!
