K&C wooden Bf110, (resin?) Komet and my favourite wooden 'Tiffy' with clear cockpit, ignored a bit to focus on the rare glossy French soldiers.

All from Louis' collection

The friendly invasion.

My Uncle Leo Badolato was a member of that friendly invasion force, and he brought home my Aunt Margaret, from Liverpool, as a war bride.

Sadly my Uncle Joseph Amana, another member of that friendly invasion force, never made it home, giving the last full measure flying from Snetterton Heath in a B17 known as the "Rikki Tikki Tavi" on a mission to bomb Berlin on May 5, 1944.'


In addition to these, My Uncle Jack Amana served in the 9th Air Force in a B24 Liberator out of North Africa, Sicily and Italy, and my Uncle John Amana served on a Destroyer Escort. So four family members served, and three made it home.

I think this might be a fairly representative sample of the American experience from WWII. I am just thankful for that greatest generation, from all of the Allied nations, who gave us all our lives.

Carlos, of course we greybeards do. Great to see you posting your dioramas and keeping this thread going.



Maybe more people will post on it?

Thanks Duke, I appreciate it. You are right, I have not seen it much either. I have been resizing some of my older photos.
