My mind is truly blown...what an incredible grouping! Can't wait to see what else surfaces. Congrats! 

Interesting.  Ive never seen this before, but I agree with you that those are cud down chevrons 

Appreciate the breakdown, towel! I actually dug a bit deeper into some sources after posting this and realized a buttpack is actually farb/incorrect for the specific impression I'm building anyway. Definitely glad I checked before dropping cash on either option, but thanks for looking out, and I'll keep those in mind if I ever change direction where I will need a buttpack :)

Those are great looking 407th oldies but goodies yokota57 and 42ndbombers. I hope you don't mind, but I thought I might add these as well for reference. Don't know if every section or department within the squadron had these made up but these are the only ones I have run across.

DML really has great details on this kit. Deep panel lines and raised rivets. It makes a really great 3D presentation. 

Hi, I am looking for this late Yoke P-38 for my J/L cockpit project, thanks

Love the china/China pieces.

Not yet, the son is back and we have spoken to him, now we wait for him to dig the rest of the items out of the basement...never in my life have I wanted to clean someone else's basement so bad🤣    Scott

Annie...I think you are doing a great job working your way through Robertson's history.  I suspect your literacy is less the problem than the writing styles of the late 1800's.  Newspaper and other accounts from that period can be particularly problematic, because they are often full of sensationalism and hyperbole.     Robertson's own writing and account might be somewhat biased, because he was likely trying to argue his side of the story.  That could make sorting out what actually happened harder, but I suspect you will eventually be able to piece this together.   One good source for information about Civil War battles are the unit histories written about the various  Regiments.  Below is the history of the 93rd New York Infantry that you can download:    https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433081800066&seq=7   *** This includes some information about the Lieutenant Governor issue
