manayunkman Posted September 6, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2012 Anyone ever see the trunk grouping with the Mickey Mouse painted on it ? This is that man's son's grouping from WW2. He flew 3 supply missions to US paratroopers during Market Garden. 9/18-20/44 On one of the missions he actually fell out but was able to get back in.
