God, help Iraqi people to protect their motherland in their holy war against
murderers from usa.
I don't buy products made in usa and their "slave government" countries:
england, spain, bulgaria, australia, romania, japan, poland, latvia,
georgia,
the netherlands, south korea, philippines, czech rp., danmark, albania.
Join this boycott. Support Iraq - member of UN! Support UN organization!
Support peace in the World!

Interesting photo there too.
Personally, I still like to see "USA" in upper case.

Aint seen it, but found these images online:
www.autogallery.org.ru/k/i/intM425_PatDeMoss.jpg
www.autogallery.org.ru/k/i/intM426_PatDeMoss.jpg
The loading scene would have been on Tinian, where
the bomb was loaded onto 'Bockscar', the B-29 that
dropped it.
Someone mentioned the M425/M426 models were also
used for the RedBall Express (fall '44) in Europe.
