Wednesdays photo's.
Three detailed shots of a Ju-88 belonging to Kampfgeschwader 54 "Totenkopf".
(KG 54) was a Luftwaffe bomber wing during World War II. Its units participated on all of the fronts in the European Theatre until it was disbanded in May 1945. It operated two of the major German bomber types; the Heinkel He 111 and the Junkers Ju 88. Its unit insignia, sometimes displayed on a shield-like device, but more often depicted over a normal camouflage pattern, bore a strikingly close graphic resemblance to that of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, known by the same name.

This weeks photo, B-24's make alien looking vortexes in smoke markers as they make the turn from the bomb run.
