Lateral View

The fifty caliber gun emplacements on Betty's Dream, a North American B-25 Mitchell. Sometimes, you didn't need bombs to take out a ship in Rabaul Harbor. All you needed to do was find where one was hiding the ammunition it was carrying...and that's usually a highly visible area on deck marked with masts and cranes, just above the cargo hold.


How do you Bonzai Charge against this!?

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Night Radar, machine guns, a little napalm in that center tank and the Corsair itself, not to mention, the pilot!

When it comes to the latest War in Iraq, I don't see what everyone's complaining about! Obviously, Saddam Hussein indeed had Weapons of Mass destruction.

The President was merely taken out of context! <G>


Korean War Era

The markings of this night fighter are Korean War era, where the Marines perfected Night Fighting techniques, which were not as successful in World War II.


Attention Getters...
