They had color film in 1888?

No, they did not.

I don't know how that photograph was done but I would like to point out that you don't need color film to make color photographs. You just need 3 black and white negatives simultaneously exposed with the right 3 filters. It's hard to do outside a studio (the cameras for this are gigantic beasts) but back before color film was common some of the most beautiful, vibrant color prints you've ever seen were made by that method.

4594....he got me with that one. I wouldve said SST develpoment. Not Russian. Nice one.

4598...Tupelov Bear (Foxtrot)

4599....had me stumped. Looks like a Lancaster fuse but they had Rolls Royce v12's not radials. Im goin with some russian spinoff.

4600 .....Lancaster of the "Dam Busters" squad. Thats one of the drum type dam buster bombs layin in front that would "skip" across the water until impacting the dam itself.

4601...Another big ole russian spinoff.

4602...P-47 (not in its natual "at rest" state)

4603....B-29 loading a Bell X-1 (rocket) into the undercarrige. They started that in a pit. Ive never seen jacks built into the tarmac like that.

4604...good ole DC-3. In the service aka C-47

@ Dan....INCREDIBLE nature pics dude. +100 for you!

Nature seems cruel, but it's for survival's sake. Man can be cruel for cruelty's sake.

For the most part, very true.

The Narwhal, a picture that may only be cool to me. This is the boat that inserted my father into the Japanese-occupied Philippines on a mission to observe, report, relay radio traffic, and evade capture for as long as possible.

Your dad's exploits may have been the basis for part of a novel I read by W.E.B. Griffin called "The Fighting Agents. The submarine used in the story for the insertion was the Drum and not the Narwhal but I don't believe the Drum carried out any missions like your dad's.
Perhaps it was "poetic license" on the part of the author (although he uses a lot of real people like "Wild Bill" Donovan in the story), and maybe it was based on others.
At any rate, it's a good book and if you haven't already read it, I'd recommend it.
