Avro Lancaster Mark VII NX611 'Just Jane', at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, with reenactors during a TimeLine Events photographic shoot.
It's a portrait captured during an American Revolutionary War reenactment last summer in Wheaton, Illinois. I'm not sure which nationality or group he was representing--his uniform was blue--but he was on the side of the colonists.

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF designation) is a military transport aircraft that was developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II. During the war the C-47 was used for troop transport, cargo, paratrooper drops, glider towing, and military cargo parachute drops. The C-47 remained in front-line service with various military operators for many years.[2] It was produced in approximately triple the numbers of the larger, much heavier payload Curtiss C-46 Commando, which filled a similar role for the U.S. military.
Approximately 100 countries' armed forces have operated the C-47 with over 60 variants of the aircraft produced. As with the civilian DC-3, the C-47 remains in service, over 80 years after the type's introduction.

I took this in 2018 at Boothbay Harbor's Windjammer Days annual celebration. I think he is pretending to be a pirate.

This is a Fort Boonesborough reenactor at Fort Boonesborough State Park, Kentucky.
If you aren't sure what Boonesborough is, you may want to read the history of the American Revolutionary War and the Siege of Boonesborough. The Kentucky settlement was named after explorer Daniel Boone. Boone had been kidnapped by Chief Blackfish, even adopted by him, but then escaped when he learned of a pending attack of the fort by the Shawnee, who were working with the British.
A participant in the Texas Fort Muster poses during the 2019 event in the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. The Texas Forts Muster celebration was created in 2001 to celebrate the heritage of Texas’ Frontier fort settlements, like Fort Worth. The Muster brings together authentic wagons, flags, music, colorful uniforms and military gear from several Texas frontier landmarks, as well as, reenactors, musicians and other folks interested in Texas’ frontier history. The period of time covered by the celebration was the Texas frontier from the days of the early Republic in 1836, through the settlements on the frontier to the closing of the frontier by the late 1890s. I had a great time talking to reenactors and taking photos at the event.

"George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, which occurred on the night of December 25–26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, was the first move in a surprise attack organized by George Washington against Hessian (German auxiliaries in service of the British) forces in Trenton, New Jersey, on the morning of December 26. Planned in partial secrecy, Washington led a column of Continental Army troops across the icy Delaware River in a logistically challenging and dangerous operation. Other planned crossings in support of the operation were either called off or ineffective, but this did not prevent Washington from [marching his troops 19 miles through the night, ultimately] surprising and defeating the troops of Johann Rall quartered in Trenton. The army crossed the river back to Pennsylvania, this time laden with prisoners and military stores taken as a result of the battle.
Of the Hessians quartered in Trenton, 22 were killed, 92 wounded, and and 918 captured. The Colonials suffered 2 frozen to death, and 5 wounded.
Washington's army then crossed the river a third time at the end of the year, under conditions made more difficult by the uncertain thickness of the ice on the river. They defeated British reinforcements under Lord Cornwallis at Trenton on January 2, 1777, and defeated his rear guard at Princeton on January 3, before retreating to winter quarters in Morristown, New Jersey.
The unincorporated communities of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, and Washington Crossing, New Jersey, are named in honor of this event." (Wikipedia, and History.com)
