Hello Jerry:

 

What a marvelous display! I congratulate you. Nice work, and a very complete showing of the Naval Aviators in the latter stage of WW2. You have a wonderful collection.

 

Regards,

Charlie

a wonderful display!!!! Professionally exhibited. Bravo!!! (very good... B) )

 

Seven years ago I almost got to make a similar thing here in Italy, having together 9 jet pilots available for display of different periods and countries. But a lack of good security, and other small but bothering issues led me to drop eventually that idea.

Thanks TOM!

Yes I know but it is impossible to have everything and spent more and more money on it! Still have a lot of items to complete this mannequin which I hold!

 

Cheers,

Jerry
