The Next One - P-61 BLACK WIDOW IWO JIMA 1945

Yesterday, 07:54 AM

Posted by Brokeneagle in Follow as I Build

I often find that the best motivator is a great photo and that is what happened this time around.
I had seen the Trumpeter recent release of the 1/32 P-61 and was interested but not committed to buying. I like the P-61 very much, but I don't go much for models just sitting there, and the P61 is not small, so I needed to have an epiphany before purchasing this one.
I found it .
Model ordered and on it's way from Lucky model.

THE SPOOK -

IWO JIMA 1945 - 548th NFS :

P-61 BLACK WIDOW LANDING ACCIDENT

342-FH-3A-42700-B58880AC_p61_crash_548th

342-FH-3A-42699-A58880AC_p61_crash_548th

'The spook' was one of 4 planes caught by bad weather on returning from a night mission in 1945. Iwo Jima was renowned for it's bad visibility with pilots and proved more dangerous than the Japanese at this stage of the war.
The first P-61 made it down but blew a tyre.
The second, 'The Spook', came in with zero visability, was wide of the runway, adjusted but clipped the ground, bounced off the first aircraft's top surface and slid on it's belly off the side of the airstip with it's 20mm cannon firing as it slid.
The plane was deemed a right off.
They also lost the 3rd aircraft as the crew bailed out over the coast of the Island but the 4th circled with enough fuel and landed when the weather cleared.

Time to wreck a perfectly good 1/32 scale classic aircraft!

I may be offline for a while while I build this but I will do my best to keep stopping by the zone during the build.

See you soon Zoners :-)

Egyptian role during the WWII

Yesterday, 06:54 AM

Posted by Mohab in Africa and the Middle East

In 1882 Egypt was invaded by the British and in 1930 the headquarters of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean fleet was moved to Alexandria, Egypt what made Egypt a jackpot for the Nazis which forced the Egyptians to fight and support the British against the Nazis, One of these supports we're at El-Alamein against the Desert Fox (Erwin Rommel). at the end of the the WWII the British were no more welcomed by the Egyptians and were expelled out of the country

Urkunde

Jun 16 2013

Posted by Hagen in Badges of Honor

The documents that came with the awards, first up is one for bishop! Herbert Gille's Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. The picture of Gille is sitting on the Cassette which holds the Urkunde, these could be quite elaborate. These are I believe now kept at West Point.
