pakopakis those are some good photos.

Several WWII USMC radio operators have told me a squad protected them on their invasions and when performing their forward observation duties.

So what do we see in the above photo... 7 privates with the HBT field caps, 2 sergeants in campaign hats, a lieutenant in the pith helmet and a driver?

This photo also had a group... but it is harder to tell who is who?

Pakopakis,

Another good pair of photos! The first one has the later MZ-2 antenna box! Do you have a date for these photographs? The 2nd photo looks as though it has a cartoon painted on the lower cowl. It's too blurry to see exactly what it is, but it resembles Donald Duck.

My own MZ-2 has some body damage from being hoisted just like this.
