   Neat toy. Coincidently, another one identical on ebay also came up when I clicked on the link. That one for half the price, if anyone is shopping...

      John, I can't say I'm too surprised there's a cheaper one. I didn't do any research into others. There was nothing special about this one, other than it highlighted the Pearl Harbor attack. Keith: but there were jeeps there ... I saw them in the movie Pearl Harbor! (https://www.imcdb.org/v033989.html A Ford GPW no less, 3 months before being released to the military, lol). Side note: I always wonder just how much of our history and our views of the world have been incorrectly shaped by movies and advertising. For example, just our generally accepted view of Santa Claus, large man with white hair in a red Santa suit, is an advertising creation reinforced by books and movies. There's probably an interest book to be written on the topic.

   I'm at. Pearl Harbor today for the 79th ... Yes, there were no MB here Dec 7, 1941. The footage you see on TV was created after the fact at Barber Point.o
