Those are great pictures. The 3rd one with the RAF bomber has a lot going on, including a dog on the engine nacelle. It seems odd to me that the men would be loading bombs and fueling the plane in their dress uniforms. Maybe it was a staged picture?
There's a lot of good nose art in his colorized pictures. I saw a couple of planes that he said had one name on each side of the nose, because two pilots shared the plane.
