I had the unique opportunity to attend the World War II Weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (based in Reading, Pennsylvania). Being close to the 70th anniversary of D-Day, it was a significant weekend of remembrance. These shots were made with a Canon 5D, and a Canon 6D. Lenses used were 17-40mm, 24-105mm, 70-200mm, and 100-400mm. Due to my obsession with ensuring propeller blur, I shot mostly in Tv mode with a shutter speed ranging from 1/200th to 1/125th second. In some of the flying shots, it is quite difficult to get a sharp shot with that low shutter speed at longer telephoto ranges. Nevertheless, here are some pictures. Look out for my other pictures of fighter planes and bombers as well:

This is not a sight that Axis troops wanted to see - for artillery bombardment would soon follow
The T-6/SNJ-4 Texan was an ubiquitous advanced trainer for pilots going to war
It could, and was armed, and provided gunnery and bombing training
