Not an airplane photo but an airport. This is Orchard Place Army Airfield soon after the end of WWII. Upgraded and renamed O'Hare Airport after famed U.S. Navy WWII ace "Butch" O'Hare, it bears little resemblance to its humble beginnings. If you look carefully at O'Hare on Google Earth you can still make out the triangular runway pattern on the north side of the main terminal. View here looks southwest.

FYI there is a long running Aircraft Pic's thread already in the lounge. It is @ 63 pages.
