A Somber Visualization...

Last night, a clip about this memorial came up on my facebook feed. A sobering reminder

of what was lost. 

 

The "Counting the Cost" memorial, located at the American Air Museum in Duxford, England, is a 52-panel glass sculpture commemorating over 7,000 US aircraft lost during WWII operations from UK bases. The etched panels line the entrance ramp, visually representing the immense scale of losses with silhouettes of bombers and fighters. 

    Location: Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford, near Cambridge, UK.

    Significance: Honors over 30,000 US airmen who died while flying from UK bases during World War II.

    Design: The 52 glass panels are divided into two segments (43 on the left, 9 on the right) and feature engraved silhouettes of aircraft, acting as a "missing in action" memorial.

    Details: The panels include engravings representing the USAAF 8th Air Force (6,346 lost) and 9th Air Force (692 lost).

No You're Not Going Crazy.. One Last Update On FFFF

 

 So, 30 mins into the post, it got flagged.

I sent it back for review, untouched.

In the meantime I added the after dark post so those so inclined could enjoy that.

At that time I went to delete the link on the last 'follow the ladder' image on the original post.

I was only working on my phone and when I went to delete the link, I must have

fat-thumbed it and  somehow grabbed the whole post and deleted it.

Other than the "Stay safe out there" ending.

FUCK.

So, being the best host I can be, I went back down to the bunker, fired up the desktop,

and reinstalled the pictures. For what ever reason, they loaded in the opposite order I 

had originally had them listed.  

So, you're not going crazy.
