A badly damaged British Liberator, seen here back in England after it had been struck by a falling bomb dropped from a squadron mate in mid-flight

Rare picture of German Me-262 jet fighters aboard an aircraft carrier. They're on the deck of the HMS Reaper on their way to the US to be evaluated.

B-17G Fortress “Mizpah” took a direct AAA hit in the nose on mission to Budapest, 14 Jul 1944. 2 were killed instantly but the pilot held her level long enough for crew to get out & become POW’s. The aircraft crashed near Dunavecse, Hungary.

Les B-17 étaient vraiment les tank du ciel c'est insane à quel point l'avion était cappable de rammener l'équipage peu importe les circonstances.

75 year anniversary of men needlessly dying en mass to deliver our freedom from a Boogeyman built up and supported by the profiteering banksters and the military industrial complex.

Every major war that has and that probably will be fought was engineered by the few, for their profit, at the cost of much human suffering.

We should be furious that our fathers, uncles, brothers and sons are/were used merely as fodder to sell bombs and charge interest on loans used to buy those bombs.

Queue the backfire effect.
 
La semaine passer je devais organiser une présentation pour souligner les 90ans de ma grand-mère et j’ai appris que mon arrière grand-père avait été pilote/mécanicien. Il a fait de la mécanique la bas mais pas certain qu’il a piloté pendand la guerre
Ici une photo

Mon grand-père as pas participé. Il était fermier et m'expliquait que le gouvernement préférait que les fermiers continuent à opérer leur ferme pour aider l'effort de guerre. Tout était rationné, il donnait sa récolte pour presque rien en retour et le gouvernement donnait des coupons pour des rations. Assez fou quand on y pense. Son frère est mort au débarquement de Dieppe en 1942 par contre, ce débarquement fût un véritable carnage :cry:
 
Take a moment to learn about Leo Major.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Léo_Major

Major was serving with the*Régiment de la Chaudière*that landed on the beaches in the*Normandy Invasion*on June 6, 1944.[3]*During a reconnaissance mission on*D-Day, Major captured a German armoured vehicle (a*Hanomag) by himself. The vehicle contained German communication equipment and secret codes.[4]*Days later, during his first encounter with an*SS*patrol, he killed four soldiers; however, one of them managed to ignite a*phosphorus*grenade. After the resulting explosion, Major lost one eye but he continued to fight. He continued his service as a scout and a sniper by insisting that he needed only one eye to sight his weapon. According to him, he "looked like a pirate".[5]

Click to expand...

Après voir lu son histoire (il y a 2 ans de ca) et regarder un video sur youtube sur ce qu'il a fait, je crois personnellement que c'est un ou le meilleur soldat de l'histoire...il a meme fait la guerre de Corée. Bref, je disais à mes amis qu'il a sauvé plus de vies que Captain America lolol. Ca me désole un peu que les gens d'ici ne savent pas plus à propos de lui...le Québécois moyen étant ce qu'il est, préfèrent de vénérer des joueurs de Hockey...je trouve ca vraiment dommage.
