Pics

Nice iconic pic, Nick. There are a lot at the AWM too, but I can't decide between:

OG1418 paratroopers landing
017401 US heavy machine gun team at airfield, with burning Japanese plane in the background
017402 US soldier on walkie talkie with fellow squad members in background

Grant | Talk 12:24, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like 017402 best and think that it would make a great lead image - it seems to capture the essense of this battle. OG1418 is good, but unsuitable for a lead photo as it suggests that this was mainly an airborne attack (rather than a successful amphibious landing which was reinforced - probably unessesarily - by paratroopers). 017401 is also good but isn't suitable as a lead as it suggests that the campaign was hard fought. Can I suggest that you upload these photos to Wikicommons rather than Wikipedia? By the way, I'm planning on starting Battle of Morotai today or tomorrow and call dibbs on it ;-) --Nick Dowling (talk) 22:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
