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

The pilot of this Fw-190 became lost and landed at RAF Pembrey on June 23, 1942, after mistaking the Bristol Channel for the English Channel. It was test flown with the RAF roundels and the serial MP499. Used to develop tactics to counter what was then the latest Luftwaffe fighter. MP499 struck off charge in 1943.

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

The wife of a USAF pilot at Laredo AFB and editor of the officer's wives club newspaper, Rosemary Horne made a flight in a T-33 to write about it and make pilots' wives more understanding of their husbands' problems and their love of planes. 55-4379 was retired to AMARC from Laredo in 1966, ending up as a Navy QT-33A. 52-9492 and 52-9174 are also seen.

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.
