Al’s plane again, profile view, flightline, Grosseto Italy.
Nice shot of Al’s plane, and the flightline at Grosseto, many 65th ships in background.
Lt. George A. Finckenor, 65th Sqdn. Ordnance Officer showing newly installed 4.5 inch rockets.
Three rocket tubes were mounted under each wing.
We were given leave in Rome only about 7 days after Allied occupation. These photos were taken in the U.S.O., which as yet was sparsely used. The photographer had only a 35mm camera. From the quality of the work I always assumed he was a down-on-his-luck pro, trying to make a few lira.
Same.
