Famous WW2 Quote
"With Germany arming at breakneck speed, England lost in a pacifist dream, France corrupt and torn by dissension, America remote and indifferent... do you not tremble for your children?"Winston Churchill, 1935

Actually, the photo was taken from across the channel at Calais with a telephoto lens with a wide open aperture for maximum depth-of-field. The Germans were gathering intelligence data on the radar station at Dover England. By chance, the camera caught the flight of Me-109s going by. Its really an amazing phto when you look at it from that perpsective.
