For perspective on the U2, the wingspan is a foot more than that of a B-17.
The U2 is wide enough that one wing can be experiencing transonic buffeting at the edge of Mach 1 while the other wing is stalling.
(Granted, this is because the thing operates up in the high-altitude "coffin corner" of the performance envelope where those are only a few knots apart.)
What is that device that looks like a horn? Alarm siren?

One of my favourite photos of the Great War. Exhausted soldiers of the Black Watch of Canada finally getting a well-deserved rest in the Grande Place of Mons, Belgium. 11/11/1918

Please excuse my ignorance, but did they really went fighting to the front while wearing kilt?
Ponciano "Sabu" Arida of Santa Maria was the youngest guerilla in the country. He was only eleven (11) years old when he made some heroic deeds in our town. He was the runner of the guerilla spy and supply officer.
Country: Philippines
Province: Laguna

Yup. But they did have a khaki apron to protect it.
So, did they go into battle, Regimental.
