It is a great piece of engineering though! Now a battery or two of 155mm opening up on a target is very impressive and overall more damaging. But one of those monster rounds coming through the air at you has got to be absolutely terrifying.Great pics

I am pretty sure that pics 1 and 2 are of the model the more I think about it. Probably took it outside or maybe a blue screen with a fish-eye lens. A lot of work to build that model

If you have a few minutes check out the web page they have a little bit of everything there.

Postmark - GB 1972 cover bearing illustrated cancellation
for 30th Anniv of Polish 3rd Carpathian Infantry Division

1902 Eric Hoffer longshoreman/author (True Believer)

"The True Believer," though, is not solely concerned with the rise of Nazi Germany, but with the origination of all mass movements, creative or destructive. And more importantly, it is concerned with the main ingredient of such movements, the frustrated individual. The book probes into the psychology of the frustrated and dissatisfied, those who would eagerly sacrifice themselves for any cause that might give their meaningless lives some sense of significance. The alienated seek to lose themselves in these movements by adopting those fanatical attitudes that are, according to Hoffer, fundamentally "a flight from the self."

Which would segue into Hanoi Jane aka Ho's Ho:

The Holzers present a clear indictment of Fonda for her six broadcasts from Hanoi for our enemy during time of war, and six recorded there for rebroadcast after her departure.

Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer
Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam

Albuquerque's 50,000-watt blowtorch KKOB 770 AM today had open phones for two hours for all those "veterans who urged me [says Fonda] to do this".

No veteran responded in the affirmative; many veterans called in to denounce the "traitor bitch"--recalling their tours under that shadow.

One recalled a fellow veteran who committed suicide in 1984 due in large part to the "reception we received thanks to her".

Leavenworth would be light karma for the Fondas and Kerrys.
