@retroaero.bsky.socialIn 1943 it was critical to be able to instantly recognize whether an airplane was a friend or foe. In most cases pilots had to use the legacy Mark 1 Eyeball to make sure they didn’t shoot at the the folks on their side.
Can you identify these six WWII aircraft?

After days of travel and hunger, prisoners faced bleak forts, overcrowded huts, scarce water and the constant battle against lice.
For men like William Jamieson and Gordon Manners, the reality of captivity was quickly becoming clear. #WW2History

@newhorizonltd.bsky.social🧵 7/7 Wars are won with steel, but they are shaped by elements beyond our control. Next time you check your weather app, remember: meteorological data once decided the borders of the modern world. #WW2 #History #WeatherHistory #WW2History #ScienceAndHistory #WorldWar2
@emilymedwards.bsky.socialWithin the pages of my poetry book Thunder and Lightning, you will find fact that details the different facets of WW2 and poetry that will touch the heart
@bill1940.bsky.socialMy grilling of Jamie Heffer from RAF Bircham Newton Heritage Centre continues. Here he discusses how reading The Undefeated changed his understanding of the POW experience.

@litterlifted.bsky.socialI finally did another litter pick, this time at a WWII Starfish decoy bunker.
Unfortunately, I couldn't safely remove the broken glass and didn't even start on the inside, which was honestly appalling.

Jean Hélion remembered a column of prisoners stretching almost half a mile along the road. Others recalled men collapsing from exhaustion, while small acts of kindness – a biscuit, a drink, a few words – could mean everything. #WW2History
@bill1940.bsky.social2/3
Prisoners were marched through the burning heat with desperately little water. Robert Garioch remembered men discarding blankets and packs – but never their water-bottles. Hunger and thirst became battles of their own. #POW #WW2History
