This photo captures an upcoming adventure by two University of Colorado students who plan to leave Denver and travel south into Central and South America in a CJ-5 they called “Columbus II”. I’ve located the email for Rolf Kjolseth (one of the two travelers) and emailed him to see if we can learn more about their trip. Also, check out Rolf’s amazing documentary street photography here: http://iconicimprints.com

The eBay title for this reads “Army Photographers Document Arctic Smurf UFO Crash”. However, no description was provided to explain that odd title.

UPDATE: Michael McGill from the Airforce 462 Weapons Load Crew page on Facebook reports it is not a bomb nor a rocket. It’s a missile (as Bob correctly noted as well), a French Antac MGM-32 Anti-Tank Missile. The US Army used this before the TOW Missile became available.

As I told Charles, I don’t want those rockets/bombs/missiles fired from a jeep while I’m sitting next to the launcher! This is an old photo of from the Belgium Army.

These photos appear to have come from this Danish website: http://www.armyvehicles.dk. It took some searching to find them.

Charles sent this as well. I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before or not, but it’s worth a repost:

Goose discovered this wonderful photograph of Frederick Hartt, a professor of history and former officer in the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Division of the US Army. He was known as one of the Monuments Men, a group that will have a much higher profile once the new movie comes out February 7 (I already have date night arranged with Ann).

This photograph was published on at Huffington Post, along with a short article about the Monuments Men. Let’s see, hunting lost art with a jeep. I think that might just be my dream job . . .

If you plan on seeing the movie, at least one of the scenes shown in the previews is in a cavern. It looks like there are endless bags of gold/currency/valuables on the floor. A similar real scene was photographed on April 7, 1945.

Here’s an interesting photo Marc forwarded.
