Photo of the bygone marketplace that was known as ‘The Belly of Paris’, 1956. These pictures show Les Halles, Paris’ former fresh food market, which sprawled haphazardly over the center of the city.

Captain James Kolb and Sgt. Keogh of Company A/147th Infantry Regiment work together to use a flamethrower against dug-in Japanese Troops on Iwo Jima in April of 1945.
The 147th had a unique World War II experience because they were considered a “lost regiment” and not attached to an Army division in the Pacific. They would fight in several battles alongside a greater number of United States Marine Corps troops and at one time formed a CAM (Composite Army-Marine) Division when combat losses were at their peak on Guadalcanal.
Iwo Jima would prove to be their most difficult fight as they relieved Marine units and fought on the island from March to September of 1945. These men would move their way through the intricate cave systems made by the Japanese and clear the remaining enemy combatants on the Island.
At the end of World War II, the 147th Infantry Regiment fought in the infamous battles of Guadalcanal, Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. These battles are often associated with the Marines, but no American unit other than the 147th fought in all of these battles.

Virginia City, Nevada was the site of one of the richest ore discoveries in history. The wealth of the Comstock mines resulted in Nevada being rushed into statehood and was a factor in the Union winning the Civil War as the great riches were used to supplement the war effort.

1944, USS Mercury was attacked by a Japanese torpedo bomber that clipped the ship's cargo boom and cartwheeled into the sea. The boom was the first and only one in the Navy to be credited with downing an enemy plane. A victory mark was painted on it by the ship's winchmen.

A damaged Japanese Showa/Nakajima L2D Transport photographed on Saipan - June/July 1944
The Showa/Nakajima L2D was a license-built version of the Douglas DC-3 and was the most important Japanese transport in WW2, the L2D was given the Allied code name “Tabby”.
Nakajima Hikoki acquired the license rights to bulld the DC-3 from the Douglas Aircraft Company for $90,000 in February 1938.
Originally powered by imported Pratt & Whitney radial engines, the first L2D prototype flew in October 1939 and entered production in 1940 with Mitsubishi radial engines, many different variants of the L2D were built during WW2, none survive today. I had no idea the DC3 was used by the Japanese against us!

I don't think that jack fell over.

Judging from the hammers on the ground and the face of that rotor, I'd say it is stuck, and he's going to try to use the jack to force it off.

Also the caliper is gone.

Another bad plan -

From the looks of the uniforms worn by the soldiers in the photo, this is most likely from around the time of WW1
