That P51 sparkles!

I have a piece of a WW2 plane (currently on the Bay). This is the Belly tank from the "Dauntless" divebomber. Instrumental in the sinking of Yamamoto's carrier fleet at Midway. I think there are only two still flying today. Wifee says it has to go.

Hmmm...I always thought this was a bomb my grandpa is leaning against, but maybe it's a part to a plane?

He captured a Japanese midget sub!

Sorry, Couldnt resist. Your grampa was a Sailor I take it?.. That looks like a drop tank from the Corsair. Another beautiful aircraft.

Also used by the USMC (Black Sheep squadron).

Great stuff as always, folks! We are the new museums. Brock, there was a special air show here in Columbus a couple of years ago at which 100 P-51 Mustangs gathered for a "final" reunion. It was pretty impressive to see and hear that airborne armada flying in formation.

As a big band and old radio fan, I was thrilled to buy this "Chesterfield Advertising Sign" as it was posted on ebay six years ago. I was even more thrilled to discover after research that it was part of the actual bandstand set on Glenn Miller's Chesterfield radio program from 1939-1942.

This mechanical bank, known as "Tammany Bank" is a cast iron representation of the infamous corrupt New York City pol Boss Tweed. He takes your money, puts it in his pocket, and nods his head in "thanks."
