Recent pickup. Negatives taken by a member of the 7th AD. I find the Luftwaffe leathers interesting and the use of the K98s for hunting. Not the first image in the collection showing GIs hunting with captured firearms.

Hi from France ! You posted this image, some years ago, but it was reversed. Good to see it in the "right" side. I believe these ex-80thFG & 51st or 23rdFG P-40Ns are seen in China, in chinese hands (CACW). Would it be possible to have a close-up of the text painted just below the "Burma Banshees" machine ? Any name visible ?... Thanks !!
Hello. Glad you enjoy the newest scan. As for the text I will pull the negative and rescan and see if it is clearer.
