    Here are pictures from the 2008 WW2 Weekend Airshow in Reading, Pennsylvania. We have a very small group who represented and portrayed the Philippine Scouts of the Bataan campaign.

    One of the battle reenactments.

    Now, what you can't tell from the photos is how hot and humid it was. Imagine wearing these uniforms--especially the wool ones worn by the German re-enactors--in that heat and you'll realize how passionate these guys are.;)

    Beautiful pics. Is that a Japanese 'Val' dive bomber?

    The "Val" was built from a BT-15 trainer for the movie Tora Tora Tora, along with versions of the "Kate" and "Zero".
