    GREAT Color Film

    I'm a member of he Frenchicon Wing of the Commemorative Air Force flying organization. I've been friends with the Wing leader, Bernard for more than 15 years and he just sent this link out to the membership of the French Wing. It's quite a bit of outstanding candid color film and I thought my friends here would appreciate it as much as I do.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Thank you for the video, Bernard.

    The CAF does a great job of educating new generations with "living history." Nothing brings the reality of the history home like the sights, sounds and smells of the CAF air shows.

    I agree completely Vincent!

    There's something about seeing the planes alive that makes people realize that WWII was really not so long ago. All they know is seeing black and white film, and they think of WWII as ancient History like the Roman empire. It's very satisfying to know when you've started someone young into studying about WWII -

    I've met many people who have emailed me after shows and followed up with questions.

    Meeting older vets of WWII is also very dear. They all appreciate what we do. I remember one from a very small town we flew to for a day-show who, as he walked into the back of our C-47 began crying and he could not stop. He was fine before entering the back of the C-47, but old memories came rushing back to him and he just had to sit down and cry.

    We let people do a 'tour' of our aircraft, but there was nobody in the plane at that exact moment, so I closed the door so he could have his privacy. He told me that he was a paratrooper at D-Day and how almost everyone he jumped with was killed. I felt terrible for him, but after a while he told me how much he appreciated what we did to educate people about WWII by keeping the planes flying.
