Col Frank Gregory picking up mail at the Capitol. Formally a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the air mail, this was of course a demonstration of the potential of the helicopter. We were confused by the statues but they were removed as offensive to indigenous Americans in 1958. Photo by: JR Eyerman / Life

Assumed to be one of the two Ca.44s built by Standard Aircraft for the US. Navy. In the photo it was being used to test the sea sled as a platform to launch bombers at sea. The sled would support the bomber until it reached flying speed. There was only one attempt, on the day of the photo. When the Caproni failed to fly the project was cancelled as no longer required following the end of World War I. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Enola Gay with is original circle arrow tail marking used by the 509th, the atomic bomb unit. This was changed soon after arriving at Tinian to circle R to disguise the unit among other B-29 squadrons. Enola Gay wore the circle R tail markings when it dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. There was no serial displayed on the fin with either markings. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

42-6344 was declared war weary after eight months based in India and returned to the US where it was scrapped in 1949. Location is given as an airfield in China. The USAAF B-29s based in India used forward bases in China to strike Japan. For the 40th Bomb Group which received this aircraft the forward base in China was today's Xinjin airport. The lack of unit markings may signify it was not on a mission when the photo was taken and may be on its delivery flight to India in April 1944.

The H-43 base rescue helicopter could carry a fire suppression kit to put out aircraft crash fires. Foam in combination with the rotor downwash should open a path for rescuers to reach victims. 58-1830 was delivered to James Connally AFB near Waco, Texas. Photo by: Joe Scherschel / Life
