I like the second one ... it has a nice shape, and the angle at which it rests on the ground is quite artistic!

I've been around both the B-24 and the C-46 but I never realized the C-46 sat so much higher until seeing them side by side. My dad flew in the Liberator in WWII and I jumped out of the C-46 (and a C-7 and C-47 and ...) in jump school. Excellent shot.

Never realized they produced so many more B-24s than B-17s. I guess Hollywood is responsible for raising the visibility of the B-17 in a scad of movies. Nice resurrection of an older image...thanks Sig.
