I just stumbled upon this pic in teh Life magazine archives and thought I would share it. Great shot of a P-38 warming up on a forward airfield in France, late summer 1944. A nice reference as to OD, weathering, invasion stripes, paint chipping…

P38 fighter getting ready to fly a mission as the pilot arrives in a captured German vehicle shortly after the liberation of Paris by Allied troops.

Cool photo!

Love the Schwimmwagen in U.S. markings.
