:)) If only that were the case. Photo 1 is from some old, old magazine, it's a German V1 (doodlebug) pilotless bomb coming in low. They had a distinctive sound, and when the engine quit one had better take cover. I have map somewhere of Croydon, one of the most fly-bombed areas; 141 of them, killing 211, injuring almost 2000, and damaging 54,000 homes (roughly 3 in 4). In addition, as of Sept 1944 there had been 2600 high explosive bombs and thousands of incendiaries.
Photo 2 is from my archives. I got out my trusty 1942 Aeroplane Recognition guide and I think it might be an Avro Manchester.
Photo 3, of course, is the U.S. B-2 Stealth bomber doing a courtesy airshow flyby (your tax dollars at work).
