My interest in history goes hand in hand with my model building hobby.

In this video I am looking at Operation Vengeance the longest interception mission flown in WW2. After discussing this key turning point in history, I'll show my build of the Tamiya 1:48 P38 'Miss Virginia' Lightning

If you are interested in Operation Vengeance, I recommend:
Lightning Strike by Donald A. Davis
Attack on Yamamoto by Carroll V. Glines
