That's a good one!!! One of my old reenacting / military vehicle collecting buds was raised in Germany during the constibulary days. His dad was shipped there after he got back from Korea. Said there were these brothers who had a salvage yard he always hung out in. This was like 1956-58. He was there to buy German helmets. They had piles of em. He said he would take em out in the woods and shoot em with his P-38. Then he would make a cleaning selling them to the new crop of GI's transferred in. $5 a pop! Back to my story,,,,, he said these old brothers had an entire B-17 in their shop. Scattered around all over in pieces. He said knowing these old boys the way he did, it was ALL there!!!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
