The second torpedo struck Bismarck in her stern on the port side, near the port rudder shaft. The coupling on the port rudder assembly was badly damaged and the rudder became locked in a 12° turn to port. The explosion also caused much shock damage. The crew eventually managed to repair the starboard rudder but the port rudder remained jammed.

From tumbler

In these images, originally photographed by USMC War Photographer Joe O'Donnell on October 20th, 1945, we see an Imperial Japanese Army officer, commander of the Airfield Management Team at Ashiya airbase, in Hyoga Prefecture, Japan, showing an American serviceman a unique mural of a Japanese aircraft diving on an American naval vessel, painted onto the side of an Imperial Japanese Army Air Service Ki-61-1D fighter plane. Said Ki-61 was the personal aircraft of one Japanese Army Corporal Nishino, who was a pilot of the 159th Shinbutai, a kamikaze unit formed in 1945.

Presumably, Nishino painted this harrowing artwork on his aircraft for luck on his final mission, which luckily for himself and potentially dozens of American sailors, never came. Instead, this artwork is a testament to the madness and desperation of the final months of the war in the Pacific.

Those biplanes also sank half the Italian battle fleet. They were pretty capable planes.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

in the movie, and I think the book. I think they had one sortie attack their own ships mistaking one of them for the bismark.

They pummeled the bismark for hours once they caught up to her. some reports says scuttling charges took her down. They did have a ship fire torpedoes quite awhile after no return fire was coming back. have they ever searched the wreck? I think its pretty deep. I know one of the turrets if not most fell out when it turned over.

On the JU-87 D picture you can see on the bombs the whistles, and a paint stripe. The striping was to identify bomb type visually to ground crews.

Yellow=SC type Red=SD type
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_70_

the two series were color-coded the SC series having yellow tail stripes, while the SD series had red tail stripes

View Quote

Usually the red stripe shows as a very dark line or you can not see any line at all in the images, but the yellow usually is visible. You can see it on the all of them in those photos.

Yes, on the fins of the bombs there were mounting holes for that option. Used in CAS roles, terror weapon.

This is pretty interesting

A USAF pilot attached captured examples of the German model to the fuselage of his P-47 Thunderbolt, and I read that others done the same to the P-51 Mustang.

Another example attached to the wing of a P-47

Is that German drop tank on the wing?

Went back through the whole thread again over the last ~10 days and didn't see either of my two favorites:

Men of the British 7th Armored Division, Long Range Desert Group, precursors to the Special Air Service, 1942. Can't seem to find a colorized version, though I know I've seen one before.

Crash landing of F6F-3, Number 30 of Fighting Squadron Two (VF-2), USS Enterprise, into the carrier's port side 20mm gun gallery, 10 November 1943. Lieutenant Walter L. Chewning, Jr., USNR, the Catapult Officer, is climbing up the plane's side to assist the pilot from the burning aircraft. The pilot, Ensign Byron M. Johnson, escaped without significant injury. Enterprise was then en route to support the Gilberts Operation. Note the plane's ruptured belly fuel tank. Chewning would receive the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his actions that day.

No one is coming. It's up to us.

Crash landing of F6F-3, Number 30 of Fighting Squadron Two (VF-2), USS Enterprise, into the carrier's port side 20mm gun gallery, 10 November 1943. Lieutenant Walter L. Chewning, Jr., USNR, the Catapult Officer, is climbing up the plane's side to assist the pilot from the burning aircraft. The pilot, Ensign Byron M. Johnson, escaped without significant injury. Enterprise was then en route to support the Gilberts Operation. Note the plane's ruptured belly fuel tank. Chewning would receive the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his actions that day.

Some men are morally opposed to violence. They are protected by those who are not.

	Every day, about 100% of solutes leave the blood through the capillaries, and many cells leave the blood through the post capillary venules. This is homeostasis. Inflammation, in the most basic terms, is the increase in those activities.
