Proof that some people have too much money.






This is the turbo supercharger system in the P-47. Many aircraft engines used mechanically driven superchargers, often connected directly to the crankshaft, with multiple compressor stages and two-speed transmissions. Conversely, some designs incorporated turbo-superchargers, powered by exhaust gas pressure. Turbo-superchargers, having numerous advantages, didn't require direct coupling to the engine. For instance, the turbocharger in the Republic P-47 fighter was a full thirty feet behind the engine, tucked away aft of the pilot in the rear fuselage.

SAIPAN.
Japanese Scarecrow, Saipan, 29 June 1944
"Advancing Marine units on Saipan found many dummy positions left by the enemy similar to this wooden searchlight platform with a scarecrow manning it." (Official USMC archive photograph)
I have to assume it was to get GIs to waste ammo on the scarecrow or dummy.

I wrote the guy and asked about that and he told me that he thought buyers would like the 'old' look.

Well, it was way too dark so I threw it away. $25 down the drain. Just letting you know. It's a great photo.
