I came here by a fortunate crossing of wires (OK it was my error) But man am I glad to join in all the fun. I mainly "study" my history by constructing scale models. However I usually get so engrossed in the information finding and gathering process, that the model becomes a side issue. I hope to be able to contribute some small bits here and there. Thanks for the opportunity to join. Why did I pick "Dusty Yank? as a non-de plume? It harkens back to my days in boot camp where dust was king and I was a ---wait for it--Dusty Yank (according to my southern born and raised, fellow troopers).
