No way a couple certain generations look at that picture and not recall DEVO antics.
Right under noses of the generation "Oh you damn kids, that rock music won't last...."
Right.
And Mothersbaugh or Elfman didn't make second careers in movie soundtracks.
Oh wait, yes they do, among a few dozen more.

One list of several I made, is "It's About Music", all kinds of related semi-biographical content from different performers.
Guess which just got added?

This is getting pretty far from homemade tools, etc. As are the frequent girl photos, don't you think?
Yes, absolutely. But one makes a terrific work atmosphere.
The others, a distraction, mere clickbait.
I like my women real........that can change a tire, or a water pump, or fish, or adore frogs and other creatures, or design and build a room addition, or doesn't pose with objects, or write technical procedures,
tik-tok.....? Pshaw

That can’t have been a lotta fun. A simple task, needing little instruction, just as well as they’re stone deaf.
no I dont.

That has to be a P47 Thunderbolt
4 heavy Brownings yes, but remaining wing looks awful stubby. Then again, P-47's had a HUGE diameter propeller, 13' 1-7/8”Quote:

Means that to me.
Guessing the gun barrels are all the same length. Each gun is set a bit further back to allow the ammo to flow past them.
Yes, also to allow for the guns to be closer and also allows for better cooling. here's a link to a diagram (also shows why the wings looked so stubby...the guns are set quite far out:Quote:

I agree Toolmaker but P47 is the only fighter that I can think of that had four 50 cals in each wing. I miss the "Wings" series of American aviation. All we have now is so called reality programing which annoys the crap out of me.
sometimes reality is crap....for some more crap than others.
Maybe so, but I love to look at pretty women...............
thats why they make them so pretty...
I always liked the name given to the P-47 as the "Flying-Jug!
I think the Brits during WW2 came up with it
I like nice jugs.
Especially while flying high!

No romance in industrial beer production...

Re #2272
I wonder if the date is correct? 1919 is after the war ended. Would not have expected to see ladies remain in the work force then.
I agree, I thought it was a bit odd women working in a shipyard after the big war.
my grand father worked and died in the ship yard(in cali) during the 2nd war.bad heart from birth ,couldn't go with the rest of the guys, he was a welder..and died there too.heart finaly gave out.37 years old as I recall mom saying.
You also have to remember a Flu pandemic took out a fair number of the workforce not long before that.
I had a great Uncle Rico, Italian, served during WWI in the trenches and he died back in the mid 80's. When I lived in Michigan near him I did not realize he served (I was very young). Wish I had spoken to him of his service. Listening to my other Uncles, Uncle Rico stated it was a horrible bloody mess in the trenches.
my dad was airforce. korea,nam cam boida,etc,all over the place,he trained most of the guys in the 130 that died in the desert during the hostage rescue attempt thing that ended up a big mess because nobody communicated with any body....marines,airforce,army etc add to that a dust storm that took out a helicopter early and no visibility...boom .that hit him hard. he never talked about anything over seas.till about 2 years before he died in 2016. he told me stuff mom didnt know, like he was shot while flying and some other stuff.he was put up for the meddle of honner, but got the distinguished flying cross because " we were never there". he saved a lot of guy's over there. he was probably the best expert on the HC 130 and the variants. he would get calls after he retired from all around the world on how to get this plane in the air, where ever it was, and what ever the issue was, or how to get it down safely as possiable. he was pretty much crap as a father ( he took every over seas gig that cam up, was never around,didnt want us at all.but was good for everybody else in the usa. he hated the navy aviators. so we barried him at the end of the runway at penscola naval air station, so the blue angles can fly over him weekely...( blue angles home base)as well as every other navy aviator.( #1 training base for them). he had flew that plane before the us airforce had them.... and he has signed almost every one of them if not all of them.
I have been to the Pensacola beach and the Navy museum many times. My fave plane there is the F4-U Corsair
