I’ve had issues with the cable on my pixel 6 pro not staying seated - so I plug the phone in and if there’s slight movement and it stops charging, very annoying… I also had the same issue with my pixel 5, so much so that I had to get it repaired. I don’t do anything unusual wear and tear wise (like working on a building site), and since the 5, I always make sure the port is debris free before plugging in.
It’s frustrating because I have an iPhone for work and the connection on that is reassuringly solid.
Would imagine it was 1944 as the B-29 didn’t get deployed until May of that year. Great picture though.
