Ontario/Chino 5-22-46

[Bill Larkins]

Here is the aerial showing the Martin B-26's. For those that know photography this is sort of a miracle. It was shot at 1/100th sec in very dull weather, between 4 and 5pm, from a Piper J-3 Cub. The wonders of Adobe Photoshop do help to improve it. There are some B-25's in the very bottom of the photo.

This aerial photo of the P-39s belongs in this Ontario file so I have moved it outof the Kingman thread.
