I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're not

speculation, but it is *After* bombs away, not just Bombs

That's possible, and it's certainly logical from the photo's title,
but it seems a bit odd. If they'd just dropped their bombs, I would
expect there to be visible flak bursts in the sky. There wouldn't be
fighters, though

John,
I thought Navigator and Bombardier were the same guy?
I know the 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 Speed Graphic was in Army use.
(My dad bought an Army surplus one in Japan in 1945)
But I would think a 35mm camera would be a better fit.

Yes, they had color film then. Not extremely common, but it was there.
For reference: The Wizard of Oz was filmed in 1939. (Granted, that's a movie,

Cool pic.
Was reading an old Smithsonian mag with an article about a guy in the
SW U.S. that has $30,000 worth of microfilm in his desk with data on
crash sites in the U.S.
He likes to find them (hiking to remote locations, mostly).
The statistic that staggered me was how many aircraft crashes
