    Thumbs up 1945 Freeman Field Airshow

    This is a compilation of two films shot during the September, 1945 airshow at Freeman Field. The aircraft seen both in the air and on the ground are nothing short of spectacular. Many of the remaining captured aircraft have yet to arrive. Thanks to the Freeman Army Airfield Museum who provided the video.

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    That's the airshow we'd all like to attend. I saw lots of those aircraft in the air when I was young, sadly most of them are grounded now by age and lack of spares.
    Regards, Jim

    Great post and thanks.

    One thing that is interesting is the people in attendance were not fenced in like cattle and were intelligent enough to stand back from a moving prop.

    Guess that generation was some what more intelligent than what we have nowadays.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    the days when pilots could still fly tailwheel aircraft. But I still can´t understand why military bands were led by prancing females in the US. Is this some kind of kinky fantasy?
