Check this photo out … it is from 1918! The mans name is Major Wilfred Ashton McCloughrty of Australia. He was Commanding Officer of the No.4 Squadron Flying Corps (AFC).
And he stands in front of a Sopwith Camel Aircraft! Anyone recall Sopwith Camel????? The Band I mean???

My son is home from Japan for a visit before he goes to his next post, so my posts for today will be a bit different. I will be back later this evening to post todays Video pick, but I saw this photo at Flickr in the Commons Project they are doing with Library of Congress and felt I had to share.

History is awesome isn’t it?
