This fellow was sharing his experiences as a navigator aboard a B-24 in WWII. Here he is recounting his two encounters with German Me-262 jet fighters. Bomber crews were not told that the Germans had fighters that screamed like banshees and flew too fast for turrets to track until they returned to base with a UFO sighting.
From www.collingsfoundation.org:
Preliminary restoration work started in 1985, led by Massachusetts volunteers, most of whom were former crewmen, or sons of crewmen, on B-24's. When Collings decided to make the plane a flying restoration, he contacted Tom Reilly Vintage Aircraft in Kissimmee, FL to do the work on the airframe and powerplant. Volunteers restored the turrets, armament, radios, oxygen system, and cosmetic details. The original builders sponsored work on the Emerson Electric nose turret, PPG Industries of Pittsburgh supplied turret glass, and United Technologies of Hartford, CT donated a Norden bombsight. General Dynamics, a successor to Consolidated Aircraft, the original manufacturers of the B-24 in Fort Worth, TX, was a major sponsor of its restoration.
Collings said the restoration involved complete disassembly of the plane and work on about 80% of the B-24's 1.2 million parts. There was some corrosion and minor damage "plus the desire to make all the systems (engines, props, hydraulics, and electrical) one hundred percent right".
The entire hydraulic plant was replaced or overhauled, and every pulley was replaced. All cables and hardware, the bearings, an electronic strobe system, the batteries, and the radios were donated, along with installation advice and assistance.
The fuselage was in reasonably good shape, but twenty percent of its skin still had to be replaced. More than 420,000 rivets were replaced, as well as fuel cells, brake tubes, tires, and windows. Most of these parts were donated.
Now, it’s time to honor the 8th Air Force and all who served in England and in the ETO [European Theater of Operations]. We have selected “WITCHCRAFT”, a B-24 assigned to the 467BG, 790BS that compiled an amazing record of 130 combat missions. WITCHCRAFT is an olive drab aircraft, with red and white nose bowls, red and white rudders, 130 bomb markings and a cartoonish witch flying a broom as nose art. All the names of our Dedicated Crew, Lead Crew, Plane Sponsors and DFC Members will be proudly displayed on the co-pilot’s side of the aircraft. Honor Crew and aircraft names will continue to be on the bomb bay doors.
America's only flying B-24 continues soaring through its native skies as part of the annual Wings of Freedom Tour with its sister ship, the B-17 Flying Fortress. A living history museum seen at over 130 cities per year, the B-24 brings memories for the many who flew others like it during WWII. For a younger generation, it brings enlightenment--a glimpse of the conditions in which it served, and an appreciation for the freedom we all share because of its role in the Second World War.
One of the six shots I used to spell the letters of my name in a 4 x 4 square shelf in my room (see composites for full effect here and here). Camera was set to bulb and the flash was fired in each shelf individually in sequence. Black shelves, red wall behind and green gel on strobe.
Some barrel distortion from the kit lens (but it was the only thing wide enough I have at the moment) but other than that I like it (even when you can see my hand multiple times). -

Now you know why they call it a "flashlight" :)
(Não sei porque não apareceu nenhum orixá! Vai ver pq não era na Bahia!)
SB600 @ 1/64 triggered by RF-602
45" Westcott shoot-thru umbrella
I wanted to see how even the light was with the traditional way of mounting the strobe. As the first picture shows the light is hitting the top portion of the umbrella.
The second shot shows the strobe mounted closer to the centerline of the umbrella. Yes, as you'll see below, the umbrella adapter is mounted upside down. I did that so that I could tilt the speedlite down towards the centerline. The light hits it in the middle and spreads evenly.
Just seems to me now that to get good even light through the umbrella put it closer to the centerline. Thoughts?
Strobist: 2 strobes, 1 at full power pointing up at the ceiling, one firing at 1/4th power into a plastic bag about 1 foot from the camera.
