I ran across this on Flickr and wanted to share. LeicaR8 and his sister were cleaning up their father's effects after he passed away and found a bunch of film negatives. They went ahead and developed them and found that they were all taken while their dad was piloting C-47 cargo planes in Europe during WWII. Dad had a Leica screw mount camera with a 35mm Elmar lens for most of these shots.

Here are three of my favorites. If you are a fan of photography, it's worth your time to check this out.

Leicca's, you just cannot beat the quality of print. Wow, these are amazing!

And this was off of sixty year old negatives too. They must have been in a clean, dry place all that time. I'm glad he was able to generate some prints off of them.
