booked out

It's one of those WW2 coffee table pictorials, 1991 edition nothin special, but it's got a few good colour plates in there amidst the usual b/w stuff, so I hope some military buff will pick it up off my stall.

Saw this same pic in an old Eastman catalog. Shows the true colors of the jackets nicely. Any more color pics you could post please?

It seemed a bit washed out and on the red side. I did a little color correction on it.

Interesting. Instead of mahogany and russet browns, we now have seal and mahogany brown jackets it looks like. [huh]

Any particular theatre/forces? There's a nice shot of Patton, and some British artillery in Italy, a bit of aircraft etc etc, not a huge array but a couple of good quality ones apart from the usual grainy german stuff from the Eastern Front. This interests me because I belive the Germans had pretty much most of the decent colour film in the world at the time, yet it's often not as clear as you'd imagine

Flight crews and their accouterments if any. From both sides. I leave it at your discretion.
