Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Flickr Commons, and we'd love to have this added to the group! -- Seen in a discussion of Flickr Commons. (?)

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.
