    Wow. Was the text in quotes from inside the passport, or was is it from the same collection?
  • Stadtkatze said:
    FYI: The handwritten text below the textfield says: "Dringlichkeitsbescheinigung über 50 km ausgestellt", "Certification of urgency issued for 50 kilometres".

    Jen SharpThe text is from speaking with Ms. Rome at an event where collected materials for this collection. The Road Shows captured digital copies of these fabulous images along with the stories behind them. - A, former JWA Digital Archivist

    i'm curious to know why they were left behind, and how they were being shot at so quickly after such a relaxed looking photo.

    Anyone know why there is holes in the windows? Air pressure issue maybe?
  • Just Plane Photography said:
    The holes were for ventilation. C-47s usually flew below 10,000 feet, eliminating the need for cabin pressurization. The aircraft flew so slow that some pilots would actually open the cockpit window to get a breeze in on a hot summer day.
