Yes, it is a good thing to remember. Even if for the Yankees their war was rather the Pacific than Europe.
A bit like today?

A bit. Although today they're on their way to losing a war or 2- not in the Pacific. Don't see 'em winning a Pacific war at this point.

I owned a 4/5th scale replica about fifteen years ago, underpowered with a Rotax 2-stroke.

Nice photo, but only possible in the early war (looks somewhere in france at the BOB).
As the allies later gained air sovereignty it would be suicidal to have your breakfast outside in best wetter conditions.

These collars look pretty big but they DON"T reach the edge of the shoulder. That 3/4" to 1" difference is what makes me hesitant to buy and Eastman. The recently posted 48 Eastman from MOA looked so great but for that IMO.

Agreed, Zu. That 1 inch, give or take makes all the difference. That's why I will only buy a B-3 from one guy. These guys look and are the real deal. Classic, perfect!!
