[AT] WWII Memorial and M Farmall

[Dave Merchant]

The size looks more like an H to me...

The perspective is way out of whack, a mixture of front and side views.

However, the inaccuracy may be second-hand.
The composition looks like it was copied directly from a WW-II propaganda 
poster.
They were never known for accurate details.

..and are those Oliver rear wheels?

Nevertheless, I kinda like it.
