I got this in an email from my grandparents a long time ago, they looked pretty cool so I thought I should post them here.

(They're smaller than they should be, sorry about that, fucking gmail)

I can't either.

The pictures are stored in a gmail account: even with the right link, we can't see any.

Great shots. Should be worth a bunch if you sell them to someone like Time-Warner. They're always looking for "new" photos of WW2 action shots.

You think they're good quality? The images are in even better quality in my email.

Why is there a compass in the corner of the 8th photo?

That is a compass, right? Or am I just seeing things(not out of the question).

I think the picture was taken from inside of an aircraft, so it's probably an instrument from a plane.

It looks more like a clock to me. Maybe it's a member of the Clock Crew in disguise?

There's a blurred shadow around it, so yeah, most likely part of the display of an aircraft.

But how could that be the only thing showing?

From the angle of the photo, it looks like it was taken from a road not a taxiway or runway. Could the photo have been taken from a motorcycle or bicycle? Would that object be from that type of vehicle?

My first impression was that it might be an instrument gauge on a motorcycle. The left handlebar would be just under the edge of the photo, while the headlight, etc. would be to the right of the right edge.
