Looks good! Looking forward to seeing more! I'm glad more and more American units are delving in to the early and even pre-war eras.

This was the Akron National Radial Engine show. It is this really little town in Colorado. They have a car/airshow. There was a B25 and the B 17 Sentimental Journey were there. www.nationalradialengineexhibition.com/The battle had much more pyro and shell holes to fight in. There were some prop buildings. They are trying hard to make this a good looking event. Martin |

Great pictures Martin. I think if more and more group will try to do this kind of impressions, the profile of war in the PTO will be promoted and indirectly the war in the Philippines and hopefully Bataan and Corregidor will be mentioned. For this, thanks to you and your group. Any one asked if your portraying the great War or if your're Brits?

Dang! I LOVE that 37mm cannon. If I could pick a field piece to have sitting in my front yard (keeps the salemen away!), that would be the one!!

The event was held in Akron, Colorado. It was the National Radial Airshow as mentioned in last years post.
We didn't dig it. They bring out a backhoe for the public battle. We just requested the hole.
The rifle is Japanese. I am not sure of the model. It belongs to Terry (the guy with the denims).
The owner of the 37 decided it would look good with our display. He parked it there.
I wish we had a 1917 Water cooled. Maybe in the future.
