While visiting my Mom yesterday we dug out an old photo album. Looking back through 60 years of memories, we get to a bunch of snapshots of my dad when his National Gaurd unit was activated and sent to Germany in '52-'53. There it is- a picture of a young Corporal, sitting on the steps of a barracks and admiring a new AJ Firebaby. Tried to blow it up after I scanned it to identify the engine- but it not enough detail. I'm guessing an O.K. Cub. No wonder I love these 1/2A so much- it's in my genes! I'm definetly going to have to get a FireBaby now.
Edit-
