Photos of B-24s In Flight Over Germany 1944

Photos taken by James Louis Blilie,

Late 1944: B-24s on Missions

All of these photos are stamped on the back with the Army Censor's passed stamp

so these were made during the war and sent or brought home. All photos are late1944. These photos

are included in my Dad's memoir about his time in the Air Force, Quite By Chance.

Basic shots are about 1500 X 1100 pixels (100KB). I have not yet edited/restored them in Photoshop Elements.

Full resolution scans are raw scans at 1200 dpi and 16-bit grayscale. File size is about 3.5 MB per photo, so

load time will be slow.
