WWII US Aircrew

[Chris Dodkin]

We had the WWII 'Wings of Freedom' flight at my local airport today, and as part of the display, a local military re-enactment chap came along dressed in period US Aircrew uniform.

We chatted for a while about where he'd managed to find the various pieces, after which he asked if I could take his photo with his camera.

I keenly suggested that if he had an Email address, I could take his photo with my camera, and then email the shots to him - he agreed

So here is Steven, from Blue Max Militaria - next to B-24 Liberator "Witchcraft".

X-Pro1 and 60mm Lens

Superb, just superb Chris. Still think you should try for a vintage Kodachrome look for the colour though. Maybe modeled on those images Brian posted a link to a few months back.

I love them, but especially the last one. He will certainly be pleased when he opens his e-mail

My first thought was similar to what Lesley said: I'm sure the guy will be very happy with his pictures.

I can't remember, Pete. I'll have to look back through my posts.
