Pacific Aircraft has enabled me to explain and display an important part of our family military history. By purchasing and displaying scale models of aircraft my father flew in the Air Corps and the Coast Guard in World War II and the Army Liaison aircraft that I flew in post war years, the display provokes friends, members of the family and most importantly my grandchildren to inquire and discuss the family history.

The quality and markings of the models has been right on and the presentation entertains all that study the collection. My Father’s aircraft include the PBM, PBY, Goose, Duck, Widgeon, Kingfisher, N2S, N3N and others, while mine is limited to the L-19, L-20 and soon the L-5. I may order a scale supercub painted and marked as an L-21 as well.

The presence of the models has led my sons to want me to write down the history and the stories that go along with it. I will be adding to the collection which will necessitate several custom models to match what I experienced. I do have an L-19 that is marked exactly like the one I flew, complete with the day-glo trim in the right places. It really does bring back the memories and the 2.75 rockets are authentic. I am looking forward to putting the dialogue in writing and showcasing the planes as a display.

Only yesterday did I give to a friend your sale on Navy Carriers brochure since he served on tow of them and will probably purchase those for his home collection. Thanks for the opportunity to purchase such high quality models and even offer them on sale on occasion. My budget is limited but I can mange an occasional purchase with your reasonable offerings.
