WWII Contrails

Kind of a niche post, but I found the following page kind of interesting. It shows some pictures of WWII contrails, some of them twisting and turning, indicating the dogfights high above the earth. We're used to seeing contrails today, but this sort of sight would have been brand new to the people of the time!

    That's a great collection. I live near Edwards Air Force base and I see the contrails of guys doing test flights and think back to these photos.

    I was born at Edwards AFB! Of course, my dad got reassigned when I was 3 months old, but still, I have a connection there!
