Caption Contest #68 Winner - Army Surplus Edition

 There was a rather large number of captions submitted this time around, which is great of course. A big thank you goes out to everyone who got in on that. It's always a challenge for me to try to pick the best five for the poll... and this time around I almost didn't include the one that wound up winning by a landslide! Congrats and a bacon sandwhich at OSH12 go out to 'Jeff Howell' for his Army Surplus caption - great job!

 Pictures like this are a good reminder of the effort put forth by Americans to build the machinery for victory in World War II. This is actually a pretty small collection of aircraft, but it gives me an idea to put together a post soon with images that show the massive numbers of aircraft being produced in various factories. Keep an eye out for that, and for another Caption Contest before long...
