Ohio Korean War Memorial

I did not realize that Dayton was home to the Ohio Korean War Memorial until stumbling upon it on the Historical Markers Database.  In looking at the pictures on the listing, I knew that it must be quite the memorial and so I took a quick drive north to go visit the location.  The memorial is just north of downtown, right along the Great Miami River, and is quite a beautiful location.  If you are ever in the area, particularly to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force, the memorial is an easy ten minute drive from the museum.

Imagine being a POW at age 15 and being held captive for over two years!

Air War Korea - Part VIII: New Planes!

Several months ago a heck of a sale from Dom's Decals netted me additional Raiden planes to my Korean War collection.  I sent six P-51s, four Panthers, and two MiG-15s to the very talented Chris Geisert at I-94 to do his magic, as all my other Korean War planes have been painted and decaled by him and I wanted a consistent quality that having the same person do all the work could provide.  Yet again, he knocked it out of the park!  Not only does he do great paintwork, but his selection and application of decals really brings the castings to life, which can only enhance the table top.

Yet again, I'll let the pictures tell the story....

Mustangs were used throughout the war in the ground attack role

My fave Korean War plane...love those four D10s for gunnery in Check Your 6!

The bad guys...er, I mean the misunderstood North Koreans
