The 599th Bombardment Squadron flew 239 combat missions from April 1944. It was based at Peronne, France for most of 1945. The 397th Bombardment Group's tail marking was a yellow diagonal stripe - see colour photo 583483. Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv

This assault glider seems to be serial number 43-39705, which was towed to Sainte-Mère-Église by a C-47 on 7 June 1944. The fabric appears to be ripped near the roundel. On the right is a Fairchild UC-61K, almost certainly 43-14996. Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv

This was the first B-29 in Europe - as most viewers will know, the type was not used against the Germans. Coming straight from Goose Bay, it landed at Paris - Orly on 4 September 1945 to be put on display at an exhibition of US military power there, but oddly it is seen here at a similar show in Denmark which apparently opened only a few days later. The same Superfortress was also on view at Amsterdam - Schiphol in late October 1945. Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv

Excellent photo of this PT-19 which must have been a rare bird in Europe in 1945. 42-2923 was damaged while still in use as a trainer at Garner Field, Texas, in late July 1944, but was subsequently assigned to the US embassy in London. It crashed on 29 June 1946 at Exeter, Devon. What is that thing between the cockpits - a camera mount? Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv

The American aircraft exhibition at Kastrup in September 1945. B-17G 44-8911 is on the left. Henrik Nørgård found more photos of this exhibition and the Velje city archives kindly shared them with us - thank you Henrik and Karin. Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv

Used by the 15th Troop Carrier Squadron, 61st Troop Carrier Group in the summer of 1944. Towed Waco CG-4A gliders to landing zones around Arnhem on 18 and 23 September 1944. Damaged in a taxiing accident at Munich on 1 June 1946. Photo by: Hanne Laursen / National Museum of Denmark

Although exhibited here as a USAAF aircraft, this one had been supplied to Britain as an Argus Mk.III, HB722. Joe Baugher's website notes: 'US embassy 22 Aug 45.' Photo by: Hanne Laursen / National Museum of Denmark
