Nice pictures thanks for putting them on. If I may add this. I think the machine gun in the back of the truck is a Browning Water Cooled 30 cal, not a 50 cal.

Was this an early WW II, or even pre-war rig here?

It look's like a water cooled ( heavy .30 ) to me. The vehicle is a Dodge 3/4 ton truck.

All the way to the seen of the crash. This is some type of Navel aircraft. I am not sure but it looks like a TBF Avenger.

4Star8,
Select or click on the "Add Attachment" it's in blue print just under the reply box you type your reply in.
If the photo is in your computer select browse, go to it, and click on the photo and it will show up. If its on a CD go to the CD and do the same.
