It would be very nice if you share with us all the cards you have collected. A very interesting collection. I love the impressiveness those pictures made with! If you look right you see so much rage and desperate speed and inevitable resolve in those images!

A true living MOD, the Douglas B-18 Bolo ( Digby I, in the RCAF ), an attempt to adapt the DC-2 to bomber role.
Just because you asked, I did this one. I had to choose, between giving you some
great battle scenes like the one for the Mossie or the Amoit 370 ( which I'll probably do in the next installment ),
but I could not pass this rare bird related to "modding". The history is even more amazing with regard to the Atlantic campaign and Pearl (Wikipedia):

"The Douglas B-18 Bolo was a United States Army Air Corps and Royal Canadian Air Force bomber of the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Bolo was built by Douglas Aircraft Company and based on its DC-2 and was developed to replace the Martin B-10. By 1940 it was considered to be underpowered, to have inadequate defensive armament and carried too small a bomb load. Many were destroyed during the Pearl Harbor Attack and in the Philippines in early December 1941. By 1942 the survivors were relegated to antisubmarine or transport duty. A B-18 was the first American aircraft to sink a German U-Boat, the U-654 on 22 August 1942." hock:

There is an interesting anecdote in there about the B-17 (Boeing model 299), the prototype crash and price tags !!
