But Why A Bomb?
Submitted by IMSA on Tue, 06/05/2007 - 11:27am.
It looks to me like the aircraft in the background is a PBY Catalina or a variant thereof. I did'nt think these planes were used for bombing, unless one tossed the bombs out through the gun blisters!? Those are, however, some really fine lookin' bombs.
No Freudian interpretations, please.

Sometimes a bomb is just a bomb.
