This Looks Just Like a Gabfest in a Country Store But It's Actually

This looks just like a gabfest in a country store but it's actually a group of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress crew members "Checking out" flying equipment just before taking off on a mission to Germany. The signs, "Don't forget your sardine can" (Flak suit) and "Don't forget your Mae West" (left preserver) are gentle reminders that men are not departing for a tea party.
