Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Mal's Best of the Best, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

The hand signals given by the Tank Commander and repeated by the Sponson Gunner are very important in controlling the movement of the tank units of the era. Even if all tanks in the unit had voice radio (I'm not sure if they did at this point), the reliability of the sets - when mounted in a shaking, bumping vehicle - was very low.

I have a whole new appreciation for the lighting techniques of the 40s. This is wonderful
Arni Kristjansson said:
Beautiful shot.
Ben Hollingsworth said:
I love the lighting in this entire set. The techniques used are far more creative and advanced than what I would have expected from this era.

The quality of theese shots is great. Could be mistaken for contemporary shots (set aside the technology).
Bruce S said:
Fredo, a film transparency is equivalent to about 5,000 lpi resolution. It's more like today's digital technology is catching up with the old quality.

Right. But I was not commenting on the image resolution. Besides, on a image resolution this small (500x400) such a source resolution is pointless. My purpose was rather to comment image quality such as color balance, hue and definition, which in my opinion is quite remarkable for an exposure taken in the 1940's. In refering to the "technology", I was refering to the tanks... Regards.

Hi Alfred, a great shot! I like it very much! Maybe you would like to post some of your pictures on www.military-vehicle-photos.com I think the visitors over there would like that very much. Regards, Alf , The Netherlands.

Above photo is an M-3A1 'Stuart' Light Tank (I earlier identified this as just an M-3 but have since learned that the original M3 had sponson machine guns mounted on both sides of the driver(s) which were removed on the M3A1). Photo below shows an M3 "Stuart" Light Tank from the 13th Cavalry, 7th Cavalry Group (Mechanized) at Fort Knox with sponson machine guns mounted.
