Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

i totally understand why the pilot did it, of course. but technically, isn't he violating international law (i think its the geneva convention) which says you have to wear a distinguishable uniform in battle?

He's not on the battlefield, he's in a machine with his country's identifier painted on it.

Now, if the plane crashed and he survived it might be an issue.
