The so-called Hercules turned out to be a turkey for Howard Hughes, which was also nicknamed the Spruce Goose (which Hughes disliked) among other uncomplimentary handles in the aircraft's short life.  Check it out at Wikipedia:  Hughes H-4 Hercules - Wikipedia

Yes, I though that was quite unique too, along with the fenders and large stars on the jeep.

A interesting one LOL, a Coast Guard Officer, a Captain as we catch a glimpse of his Eagles, he's aboard a Graffiti cover Subway Car in New York New York, the little boy may be his kid, probably is. Date anywhere from the late 70s to the early 80s would be my guess.

 

Heading down to the Battery and/or Governors' Island

 

Clearly 70's to early 80's subway graffiti, made this trip every day for years in NYC

Museum Director Col. Keith Gibson discussed firearms, handguns, tanks, and alumni who served. Thanks @vmihistory for the visit!"
