Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, in war-time color!

Somewhere in China, date not given.

26th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Group, somewhere in China.

A pilot and his P-40.

Maintaining in Panama.

I got this from a silent color film, recorded sometime in 1942. It shows the nose-names applied to newly arrived P-40E Warhawks (to replace the P-40B/Cs that were destroyed by the Japanese) on Hickam Field, Territory of Hawaii:

Before the Second World War started France had ordered hundreds of Curtiss P-40 fighters, but did not receive them due to being invaded by Germany. After the United States invaded Morocco, U.S. General James Harold ‘Jimmy’ Doolittle presided over the official delivery ceremony of Warhawks to the newly ‘liberated’ French Groupe de Chasse GC II/5 (aka Lafayette Escadrille), on Casablanca-Cazas airfield in Morocco, on the African continent. I edited from a collection of color silent films recorded by B. O’Conner on 09JAN1943 (the date of the official ceremony, in reality the U.S. had already equipped the French unit in November 1942):

Casablanca-Cazas airfield in Morocco, 09JAN1943.

U.S. Army Photo Division personnel incorrectly listed the above photo as being in Algeria (Algiers), it is from the 09JAN1943 ceremony in Morocco.

P-40 Warhawk, Aleutian Islands, 11DEC1943.

The U.S. Army photo-info says this is a ‘E’ version, but the tail looks like the ‘K’ version.

Pocatello Model Railroad & Historical Society, open house 15FEB2025.

Video February 17, 2025 Hutchins AAron

On a cold, blustery, snowy day, the Pocatello Model Railroad and Historical Society held another Open House. On 15FEB2025, non-club members could come in from the cold and watch some neat displays come to life. Hopefully the club, which also helps to preserve a very important part of Pocatello’s history, which many local railroad hating officials seem to want to bury (I’ve noted elsewhere that a major cause of the demise of the local economy is due to public officials making a decision that ultimately killed thousands of local Union Pacific jobs), will gain more members, or better yet, raise some much needed cash.

Always under construction.

Anybody remember their display in the old Pocatello Mall? Pocatello Model Railroad and Historical Society’s current location needs a new roof. My blustery video report:

East Idaho News, March 2024: “The railroad went to Chief Pocatello to get permission to lay their tracks through here. The Chief asked (what was in it for them) if they donated land. The railroad said, ‘Anytime you or your braves want to ride the train, we’ll let you ride it for free.’ That’s what it took to get the tracks through here.”-Larry Gilbreath, President of the Model Railroad and Historical Society

The ‘Big Room’.

Tax revolt? Some of my video from the Big Room:

Pocatello Model Railroad and Historical Society is funded with membership fees and donations. The club was started by Union Pacific railroad employees, and other fans of mini-trains.

Alas! No more passenger service.

Index of BBN’s USAID revelations, from 2011 to 2023!

February 13, 2025 Hutchins AAron

Blind Bat News has been making revelations about the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) since 2011. This is a fraction of the taxpayer funded shenanigans during that time.

December 2023: USAID ‘humanitarian supplies’ supposedly being delivered to Gaza via U.S. Air Force.

Denton Program Failure 2023:USAID gave Guatemala nuclear ‘sources’ (Cobalt-60)?

End of Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Those decades when U.S. taxpayers supplied Russia with USAID!

Pland-emic, 2023: USAID delivers Bill Gates funded COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (aka COVAX)!

November 2022: U.S. TAXPAYERS SUBSIDIZE YEMENI NATURAL GAS FOR NATO EUROPE?

Pland-emic, 2022: USAID distributes Pfizer mRNA vax around the world!

Hunger Games, 2021: African organizations accuse the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other donors, of destroying agriculture through out the African continent under the guise of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa!

Denton Program Failure, 2021: Canadian Fire Trucks, U.S. Air Force, Central America, USAID!

Hunger Games, 2019: As the food insecurity in U.S. state of Florida refuses to go away, another USAF C-130J loaded with USAID food, and other supplies, took off from Florida for Columbia. Information from USAID stated that in February at least enough food for 10-thousand people has been shipped to rebel Venezuelan distribution operations in Columbia!

2016: South Africa accuses Obama Regime’s USAID of coup attempt!

USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).

Nigeria admits to shadow government, receives millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars every year through the terrorist organization USAID!

Afghanistan, 17-20 October 2014: The terror group known as United States Agency for International Development (USAID) pledged an additional $216-million for women’s programs in Afghanistan. USAID officials claim another $200-million is coming from donations, yet mainstreamer U.S. news media reports say it isn’t enough!

Afghanistan, 05 – 08 July 2014: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) paid for the growing, picking and shipping of 22.5 metric tons of Afghan pomegranates to Russia. It’s a U.S. taxpayer funded operation called Commercial Horticulture and Marketing Program (CHAMP). U.S. taxpayers have also helped Afghan farmers ship grapes to India and United Arab Emirates, the most recent shipment weighed in at 170 metric tons! The U.S. taxpayer funded program paid for a cold storage process to allow Afghan growers to ship their agricultural produce outside their country.

Afghanistan, 06-10 April 2014: More proof USAID is money laundering!

Afghanistan, 01-05 April 2014: SIGAR (Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) accuses USAID of corruption: “USAID kept this information from Congress and the American people. As a former federal prosecutor and congressional investigator, to me it begs the questions: What were they trying to hide, and why?“-John Sopko

Liberia ebola outbreak, 2014: It was revealed that burial teams (who’re supposedly under the direction of the terror group USAID) have not been cremating the dead, instead have been using mass graves or taking bribes to allow families to dispose of the contaminated bodies in their own fashion!

More than 16 years ago the Oregon Military Museum (near Clackamas/Camp Withycombe-Happy Valley) shutdown for renovations. The museum is expected to reopen during the Summer of 2025, a year later than originally planned.

In January 2025, final work was being completed for the weapons display.

Kathleen Sligar, Director/Curator of the Oregon Military Museum, talks about the final preparations for the weapons display in this video report, via Oregon National Guard’s First Sergeant Zachary Holden, released 29JAN2025:
