If only we could time travel and experience the magnificence of this photo. To hear the roar of the engines and the smells associated with the overal photo. The mixed smell of gasoline fumes,. sea air and lingering smell of cordite from the battles of the day before. To feel the pride of knowing what a great country we lived in that could produce so much war material and be able to deliver it at that precise time in history so that the world would be changed forever.
