Jim Baker Posted July 29, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2007 My favorite (hobby) photo subject, the Sherman in combat. I have no idea where most of these came from, other than to say off the net. Enjoy, and please post yours. Here is my current screen saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Flick Posted July 30, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 30, 2007 Hi Jim: I, too, always like a good pic of a tank or other AFV. Those pics are all very interesting. Here is one that you may not have seen. It is a Stuart on a street in Honolulu during a War Bond Drive. I don't know the date but I am guessing 1942. Nice job of parallel parking too.

Steve B. Posted July 30, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks for the kind words, Jim! Yes, that's my website. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes, whether they be out-and-out lies or simple typos! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks for the kind words, Jim! Yes, that's my website. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes, whether they be out-and-out lies or simple typos! Steve Steve, I like that site. I have it in my favorites. Hell, that's probably where a lot of my Sherman photos came from (hope you don't mind). I use them as screen savers, modelling reference, and just enjoyment as a slide show. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted July 31, 2007 Share #16 Posted July 31, 2007 Jim- I don't mind at all! I'm just glad that people find it valuable and worth a visit. Thanks again. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted August 2, 2007 Share #17 Posted August 2, 2007 Hey Jim: Here is an odd Sherman pic I thought you might like. It is wrecked and missing a track. The .30 BMG is also missing. It also has a weird painted emblem on the front. What the heck is that? I don't know the when or the where of the photo. Regards, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share #18 Posted August 3, 2007 Charlie, A nice KW era Sherman. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baker Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share #20 Posted August 3, 2007 Excellent video, Well worth watching. There are several excellent photos of Shermans in Cologne.
