TheCrustyBosun Posted September 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2020 Hello to all! New to the forums but not to collecting. I have collected military uniforms and gear for the past 25 years. My collecting started with WWII items, but I have collected other eras as I've gotten the desire to do so. I even had a stint with British military uniforms. I have since sold off a majority of my collection to return to my original category of WWII US Army Air Forces items with emphasis on the Pacific Theater. I am a veteran of the US Coast Guard, where I served 12 years as a Boatswain's Mate. I served a year in Operation Iraqi Freedom with Port Security Unit 307 in 2004 and I had the distinct honor of serving aboard the USCG Barque Eagle. I'm finding this forum to be a wealth of information and a valuable resource to add to my toolbox. I only wish I had joined sooner. R.

With some more technology, the engine went around. We know of steam and diesel, but what’s a main yard for?
