Great Shot
So much of interest! First the B24, then the M1
in a Jeep scabard, then an MP40.

That is Gen. O. Bradley in the helmet.

Are you sure about Gen Bradley? He wouldn't be driving his own jeep... I don't think it quite looks like him...no matter. But I'm thinking here's infantry, aircrew, ground crew, and is that a UK
rep back in the back?

Agree, BAR, it looks like him but I'm thinking it's a GI with his trophy. Lots of interest, are those Canadians with the berets? The others are clearly flight crew with the 50-mission-crush hats and ground crew with the softies.

I like the grenade hanging on the eye-bolt on the passenger side, right under the M1
.

Just because the man is sitting in the jeep doesn't mean he's driving the thing.
Here's a link to more pictures of Gen. Bradley: omar bradley ww2 - Google Search
I once had the honour of meeting him very briefly.

Thanks for all those pics Paul, now I'm even more sure it ain't him.

Really? Here I thought that jaw line and gruff look was one of a kind and unmistakable.
