    More great pictures there. Thanks Chris.
    Being a Brit, I especially liked the one of Ike with Monty.

    Great set is pictures.
    The caption of the first is suspect: I don't believe there were any P-40s on Midway Island; some army bombers, but no fighters.
    I like the explanation for the "rubber duck" kill marks on the Marauder; love to have some verification.
    And I pity the B-24 crews that had to fly in the Aleutians!
    Thanks Chris.

    Nice pictures.

    I like the second one with the German Marder self propelled gun.

    There appears to have been some stationed there *before* the battle; they were removed due to poor performance.

    I especially like the close up of the Dauntless.

    Some of them are not only documentary pictures, but true works of art! Great collection!
