Very true but take a closer look, One is surely a twin engine which could represent a bomber. But then you also have two different single engine aircraft. Why two different single engine aircraft? If one represent say American aircraft and the second British aircraft that may explain it. Then there is the fish or whale. Does it represent a sea plane? If not what would it represent? To me they are unusual. Most kills Ive seen for this stuff are representive by bands or some other way and they all looked alike, aircraft type did not matter.

Maybe a good crew able to distinguish between single engined fighters and single-engines ground attack aircraft like Il-2 ?

Ive added a couple of more tank manuals on the first page with the rest of the manuals. One on the Valintine tank and the other on the Sherman. Both manuals are in russian though there are lots of pictures of the break down on the tank for a modeler. The Sherman one needs DjVu viewer software to look at.

Enjoy

Looks like a barrage balloon to me...
Maybe an observation balloon with a camera in it .... ?

Thanks a lot, Micdrow!
Excellent material, I have had time only to look a few, but special thanks for the Sea Coast Searchlight, Panther and Valentine manuals.
