That is so cool! Thanks for sharing! The photographer who took the 'after' pictures did an excellent job of framing the pictures.

Impressive! Do any of you recognize yourself or relatives in these shots? My real father may have been in France at the time. My foster father was stationed in Calcutta, involved in the "flying the hump" operation.
