Ahhh. Like i said I could tell the guy on the far right is wearing the uniform of a Confederate officer. The guy next to him appears to be wearing a Zouave uniform, which was worn by both Confederate and Union sides. Then there is the guy fourth from the left wearing a Colonial era hat, then the guy on the far left who looks to be wearing a Union uniform, and then there's the rest who look to be wearing 19th & early 20th century prison garb. There's a whole lot going on there in that one picture!

Who is this?
That's Sgt. Alvin York. He was a infantryman in the First World War who was mad famous for capturing over 100 German solders single handedly. He won the Medal of Honor for his exploits.

Bingo. But I believe their target was not in Norway but rather the damns that supplied electricity to the Ruhr and other industrial areas of Germany.

That's an F-82 "twin" Mustang. it was intended as a long range bomber escort but had a short operational life due to the advent of jet aircraft technology. They were developed in the mid to late 40's and used some in Korea.

It was also the plane credited with the first air to air kills in the Korean war.

TC! Was gonna say that as a joke...

That's not TC. Although they were "mercenaries." Those are blackwater contractors resupplying and evacuating wounded Marines and other Blackwater contractors in Najaf Iraq. The area was so hot that the Army wouldn't let their helicopters go in but Blackwater didn't really answer to anybody so they went anyway.

Shifting gears: What kind of weapon is this and when was it used?
