    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.

    Probably flipped over on landing. I bet they had it back in service in short order!

    Looks like the revised insignia where the two horizontal white rectangles were added to the white star, note these appear to have the
    red outline on the bars - which was only used during mid 1943

    Corsair

    Sad story here... a number of years ago a guy restored one at the local Caldwell Wright field, taxied out and poured the coals to it. He had no idea of the torque that huge engine generated, it flipped on the runway and burned to the ground.

    The local Corsair, an FG-1D Corsair, the different designation showing that it was built by Goodyear under license from Chance-Vought.

    Chance Vought Corsair known as "Hose Nose" by the Navy pilots or Whistling Death by the IJA (I think the Beaufighter was called "Whispering Death")

    Ain't no sound prettier through the ages than that sigh of the Merlin.......should have asked my dad more about the Spitfire, to late now.
