    Fascinating picture.They seem a happy bunch .Liverpool probably appreciated their geniality and expertise after the horrible few years the city had just experienced. Thanks for sharing these photographs.

    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.

  • Marcus said:
    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.
