hawkdriver Posted December 26, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2011 I know this isn't US militaria, but I think those in power will tolerate this, rather interesting. Call it part of the lend-lease program. Makes me want to have a beer. http://ghostgrey.gaetanmarie.com/articles/...20Spitfires.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hink441 Posted January 3, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2012 This is a neat story. What a morale builder. I think this was an excellent utilization of available resources. I see the whole supply effort was unfortunately squashed by the big hand of government. "Typically, the British Revenue of Ministry and Excise stepped in, notifying the brewery that they were in violation of the law by exporting beer without paying the relevant taxes". Thanks for the post! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
