Colleagues!

I'm preparing an article dealing with my next scenario for SPMBT - Windows. It deals with the Gulf War, 1991, Us Marines.

I need some photos to supplement the article. They would include photos of USMC in Kuwait, maybe in combat, a cobra, TOW in action, RG units, T-55 tank or tanks.

If you know where I could find anything like that, would you help me please. Some of you are very adept at finding this kind of thing on the web and others already may have photos of this sort.

You can post here or send what you have to me at:

bwilder@bellsouth.net

I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

www.fas.org (http://www.fas.org) has some decent stuff on both US and foreign weapons. The photo quality is kind of hit and miss.

I would also try the military service web sites. Most of those have fairly extensive photo galleries.

Just some thoughts......

WB, I have my photos from the Gulf '91 but only a few of Iraqi armor. Most KIA of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Let me dig through my stuff and see what I can come up with.
