Here is an interesting piece of history... A large section of the Berlin Wall, with manikins posed on the back of a Trabant. You socialist lefties will notice how, like this nasty lie, the Commies kept carefully manicured areas for the eyes of the West; fancy shops, manicured streets... yet their own citizens didn't have the freedom to go to a car dealership and buy a needed vehicle... They had to wait on a list for nearly a decade for a two-cylinder, plastic piece of crap. My kid's stroller is more durable!
Wright Patterson has one of the flags flown at Pearl Harbor, donated by a couple here in Ohio. Old Glory still looks pretty good to me!
Here's a famous lady that resides at the museum... The Strawberry Bitch!

you always put great photos up, brooke. i would love to be able to soon - wish me luck!
Good luck, Nanc; I'd love to see 'em! You could always take it back... Good customer service is so hard to come by, huh?
aw nice informative piece and nice pics hun..ty! :)
no - the camera's great - the program installed, but since i put this new registry thing in it works overtime keeping things out of my p.c. - ESPECIALLY things i want in it! smart alecky computer anyway... i've seen you speaking of your mac and i want one!
I wonder if the strawberry bitch flew on the Ploesti mission? My curiosity is riled once again, this is good info here.
I once had a lawnmower with more power than a Trabant.
Great pictures, again. Thanks for posting them.
Nanc: If you go Mac, you'll never go back! ;)
Steve: Thanks. I don't think the Strawberry Bitch flew in Ploesti, as she was with the 512th, and the raid consitsted of the 376th, 98th, 93rd, 44th, and the 389th.
Michael: LOL! Sad, isn't it? You'd have to push a Trabant uphill, it was so weak, and yet the gov't over there kept a crappy product in service.
This is a sterling example as to why the gov't. here in America should stop bailing out the plane industry, trains, and a lot of others. Only by allowing the weak to die can capitalism produce stronger, more innovative products.
Great pictures.The Strawberry Bitch conducted raids with the 376th over North Africa and Italy. It was originally going to fly missions from China into Japan but the Chinese air base needed was captured.
You're right! I did a little more searching, and it was the 376th. Seems the first source I looked up (of course) was the only incorrect one. LOL!
cool pics brooke
East Berlin's real face couldn't be hidden unless you didn't want to see it even then....just crossing over was like night and day - drab gray uninspiring cement buildings.
Trabants? That's pretty much all you saw, although I did see a 57 Chevy; the owner of which I'm sure was a politician.
