Yikes! Given the previous post, this photo seemed appropriate. No date on this photo, but the license plate would suggest this was post military.

1948 Photo of Dead Howitzer on eBay

What happens when a Howitzer is pushed from a plane, but its parachute fails to open? Well, these paratroopers learned first hand that the weapon turns into a large paperweight. At least the parachute on the jeep and soldiers worked!

1949 Wagon Built for Fishing

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This Willys wagon was built by an older couple to enjoy fishing. Maybe it is just the camera perspective, but it sure looks like there is plenty of room inside. When the couple decided they were done using it, they sold it the author of this blog: http://rockhopperfishing.com/sleepinginthedunes1963/
