    How long will this shine last? Did you coat it with something to preserve the luster?

    Thank you all for the kind words!
    Your destination isn't nearly as important as how good you look getting there!

    The B25 is one of my favs.

    April 18, 1942...six months after Pearl Harbor, wit America reeling from loss after loss in the pacific, 16 B25's (which are Army Bombers) took off from the deck of an American aircraft carrier (USS Hornet) in what was known as Doolittle's Raid.

    All 16 planes were lost...they ran out of gas as they tried to make for China. 3 of the crews were captured and some of those flyers were summarily executed. 250,000 Chinese citizens were executed in retaliation for helping downed American flyers from the raid.

    It was a remarkable story...and a remarkable airplane.
