Best crew photo
What is the best photo of a military pilot or air crew, taken from in or out of an aircraft?
To me, this photo of this Marauder crew is very evocative. The bombardier seems to be having a ciggy!

Re: Best crew photo
Great photo Horst!
Smoking in AAF planes was not uncommon, except, perhaps, the B-24s with their weird and complex fuel transfer sysems that resulted in fumes often being present.

Re: Best crew photo
I do not know for bombers, but fighters had ashtrays, which had caused a lot of amuse among RAF airmen, who were not allowed to smoke on board!

Re: Best crew photo
Douglas Bader would, allegedly, smoke his pipe in the cockpit when returning from operations. I believe Adolf Galland had a cigar ashtray fitted to his 109E!
