    THE BOEING B-17
    BEN SKIPPER
    The B-17 Flying Fortress, a term coined by a Seattle Daily Times report in 1935, was a quantum leap in offensive air power.

    BATTLE OF THE BULGE
    BEN SKIPPER

    M113: AMERICAN ARMOURED PERSONNEL CARRIER
    BEN SKIPPER
    The M113 has become as much a recognizable part of the US military machine at war as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois and M16 assault rifle. Earning its stripes in the jungles and highlands of Vietnam, it became the most widely armored vehicle of the campaign. Such was its prowess that the Viet Cong gave it the nickname Green Dragon on account of its ability to go virtually anywhere. Its...
