Mercy Flight: Wop May and Vic Horner off to Fort Vermilion with diptheria antitoxin.

• Swordscookie said:

  Such an important image and such an important event. Now that Diphtheria is almost wiped out most young people will never have heard of it. When I was a child it was one of the great fears for families with children. There must have been a big outbreak up there.

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  There was a big outbreak at the time and the only way to get medicine to them was via air. It was big news at the time.

  Guy Gibson's aircraft "G" George. It survived the war but was scrapped without thought or ceremony in 1947/8.

• Not the Fake Nate said:

  John This is an important photo. Gibson was 617 squadron cmmdr, right? I love how we can see the mechanism that rotated the bomb on this Lancaster.

• Frantic Friction said:

• Jens Roesner said:

  I never heard the term "Upkeep mine" and thought it looked like a rotating, bouncing bomb... More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_bomb#Upkeep
