[Milsurplus] Windtalkers on History Channel

[Marty R's GI-stuff haunt]

>  "Navajo Code Talkers" / Saturday June 15

Dadburnit Geo I missed it

Hey say there were detail wizards here that criticized their TBY 
bags, antenna, etc.  An insult to our huge community, blah, ker-blah.

But I dint see anyone type up the just-right TBW on the cruiser or
the TBX in the french-accented CO's bunker.

Or Navajo radio school where they were saying "TBX long-range, TBY not."

I think detail attn. XTRA GOOD...

F'rinstance they only had 1 6X6 ww2 truck & lotsa Korea-era duece&halfs.
Easy front-end ID because 6x6 had pointed snout.  But a$$ difference more 
subtle.  Dual mounts on 6x6, singles on duece&half.

All truck-front shots used lone 6x6

And another thing, talked to a living SBD pilot yesterday & those 
pill-box mounted 7" guns were all over Pacific.  He spent 8/42->5/43
diving on them and lotsa other targets.  

And he knew where the ASB gunner's display went.

Must be one 7-incher left that got edited/video-effected into all those 
scenes

Again, I think detail attn. XTRA GOOD.  It had to be, little else to movie.

But Ben Yahzee (? Leach) & N. Cage & J. Woo did fine... in spite of 
the cussing.
