Fueling a plane at the Naval Air Base, Corpus Christi, Texas (LOC)

    I think they are adding oil, rather than fuel.
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    JimNtexas: Can you say a little more about why you think it's oil rather than fuel? Is it because of where they are on the plane? The type of hose he's using? Or...? Thanks!
  • Jim Howard said:
    Barbara, those big radial engines would hold up to fifty gallons of oil, and they used a lot of oil every hour of operation. It'd be tire some to fill it a quart at time. These motors were 'dry sump', with a separate oil tank usually located behind the engine itself. That would not be a good place for a fuel cap, because it's so close to the very hot engine.
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for the information--very helpful!

A good job in the air cleaner of an army truck, Fort Knox, Ky. This Negro soldier, who serves as truckdriver and mechanic, plays an important part in keeping army transport fleets in operation (LOC)

  • Hesitant Rabbit said:
    a great and wonderful photo. i take my hat off to all those men and women who fought for our freedom, and of which a lot paid for that freedom with their lives. i say thanks to those photographers who show us those sacrifices that the men and women of the allied forces made so that could have the life we do today.

    Alfred T Palmer was an amazing photographer!!! I can't believe this was taken in 1942.
