First Division Museum Photos
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hi all,

We've posted a number of photos from the First Division Museum - Cantigny Park, Wheaton, IL, to our new photo site. At the time of our visit, the museum had recently finished repainting the outdoor exhibits.

See them all at:
afvagabond.smugmug.com...8825_iAche

Some enticing samples:







Please let us know what you think of the photos and the site. We're just getting started and are looking forward to posting many more photos.

Cheers!
The VBs

Hi,

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Did you happen to collect S/N's on any of them?

Chuck

The photos are very interesting. I was able to go through the museum (definitely worth a visit!) and tour the tanks in the park in 2008. It looks like somebody was busy with the paint brush - I don't remember the "tiger face" scheme in the M46. When I visited everything was just OD green. I also understand that they have received an Abrams. Looks like I better include the museum on a list for a return visit when I get back to the Chicago metro area.

Thanks for the photos

Gary B.

Was their in September. The museum is a great visit. Tanks and arty.

Life sized displays for the museum diplays. WW1 trench, Normandy beach with bunker... . Good Stuff. I refer to the small arms now--hard to check S/Ns on the stuff inside the museum.

The Abrams is there now.
The M48 is even painted as "Snoopy", a dozer tank my dad had taken pic of while in country!!! but they had no more relevant info on the vehicle that I hadnt know of already.

Vagabond, I've tried downloading these pictures at original size to put on PreservedTanks.com (as per our PMs) but it won't let me - what do I need to do?

Trevor,

PM sent.

All - I set the site up with right-click disabled to protect the images. When one right-clicks, the following message appears:

We're pleased that you like our photos! If you'd like copies please email us at: (Email omitted here). If you’d like to post a link to them for use in a vehicle registry or website, you may do so, but please let us know. Unauthorized use is prohibited.

I wanted at least the illusion of some control over who can download the images! Smile

I figured that anyone on the forum here could contact me via PM regarding use of the images. The galleries won't show up on smugmug searches or Google searches. That way most of the traffic will be coming from this forum.

Anyone that would like to use the images for registries or websites can link to the photos and galleries - just please let us know that you have done so. Contact me through this forum if you need links or help linking.

Thanks,
VB

Totally useless protection system that can easily be broken...

Yeah Its more common with people who like to claim copyright by adding their name onto copyright-free images...

in the US you can do anything you want with a image that you copy at the National Archives or other government agencies, as I have said before if someone wants a pic without my name on it all they have to do is ask. if they don't want to ask I suggest they go to the National Archives and copy the pic themselves. Stealing is never considered appropriate.

I think you misunderstand me... I was referring to people who come across images on the internet without a copyright on them, copy them and add their own name to the image.

You would be amazed how many images get sent to me like that. ALWAYs put your moniker on an image but preferably not across the center in huge letters - thats just gross

Also you should use a decent graphics program with a copyright embedder like Corel Paint Shop Pro. I (nearly) always add a contributors name to an image I use if they haven't already though it is getting difficult with JEDs albums feature as the images are loaded directly into the albums from the users computer.

Ok Jim,

I see that you are correct.

For my own information, can you access the original size images too - or just the size of your example?

At least it has the watermark! LOL!


Cheers,
