One wonders how the plane can still be airworthy when the pilots balls are insanely heavy
Incredible!
This picture was sponsored by Michael Bay.
He’s flying TOWARD the explosion, correct? I know the P-47 is rugged and durable but Jesus did he make it?
Why the heck haven’t I seen this picture before…. Amazing
Amazing shot
There’s a fantastic YT channel called WWIIUSBombers that does excellent original sourced research. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNPt3bYIV-A) talks about the necessity for close range.
