American Soldiers during World War 2

Bombing Germany was key in winning World War II. Here we see two American Soldiers loading big (500 pounds) bomb into a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.

The Gas mask family

During the war life was very different. Seeing a whole family wearing gas masks, is not something you see during peacetime.

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War. The Spitfire continued to be used as a front line fighter and in secondary roles into the 1950s. It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft and was the only British fighter in production throughout the war.
