Description
Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's annual World War II Weekend billed as 'A Gathering of Warbirds' also includes re-enactments of World War II scenes and World War II veteran guest speakers.
1700 reenactors from many states, usually from the East Coast, bring in their privately owned WW II vehicles and equipment, dust off their WW II uniforms, and the women wearing period fashions and hairdos.
Additionally, WW II veterans are invited to speak about their World War II experiences.
I will not comment on these uploads because I don' know enough about Army equipment or uniforms and my interests lay mainly with the aircraft.
This picture was taken at Spaatz Field on 1 June 2012,

I love re-enactments no matter the period. My fav however, is 15th century to 17th century, the America's and England. 'Love the knights, but maybe that's the romantic side of me.

GREAT CAPTURE

That must be so claustrophobic driving that one in the rear. I bet his mirrors come in handy too.

I'll start off by saluting the troops.. Well done, current and past.. Now a cool looking Jeep of course BUT Sig mate, the beast that peaked my interest was the Armored Car.. I don't think it's a U.S. one.. And further more the uniforms look British.. It looks very much like a Daimler Armored Car! Fancy that turning up there! Well found, well shot! Rob PS: Get Neil to check for sure, he is more the man on that stuff than me, I have looked on some site and it matches pictures there..

I would like to have the armor vehicle behind the jeep. I bet the fools on the streets here would give a wider berth

I played a lot of WW-II with metal and then plastic soldiers, vehicles and weapons. When the Korean War came I kind of merged the stuff so that bazookas I associate with Korea and flamethrowers with WW-II. A jeep is a jeep until the MUTTs arrived. I always confused the Stalin with the T-10. All tanks looked like Shermans or General Grants until the Walker bulldog which is Korean vintage in my playroom. Sorry, I never had any German, French or British forces and had to go to the movies to see them as the newsreels were now about the UN and not the Allies.

Rob, the reenactors that participate each year at this gathering bring their own vehicles and uniforms and generally represent the four major combatants of World War II: the United States, Germany, Britain, and Japan. During the three day weekend they form a convoy each day of all the military vehicles and drive from Spaatz Field to Downtown Reading and return. It is nothing unusual to see an American Jeep, followed by a British amored vehicle, followed by a German Kubelwagen. I will not comment on these vehicles (or uniforms), since I don't know enough about them. But the owners of the particular vehicles not only know the history and background of their vehicles and uniforms, they also know their military history. Sig...

Love the guy in the goggles! They're probably having the time of their lives! :)

Beautiful. Those re-enactors are very passionate about their hobbies, you can see it in the little details, such as the markings on the vehicles. The jeep is pretty standard, the armoured car is a rarity, a Humber Mk III, a reece(recon in american slang) vehicle assigned to the 15th Scottish Inf Div (red lion on a yellow circle facing, upon a black square). The green over blue square denotes a reconnaissance unit within the british commonwealth, the white 41 if it's a canadian unit would be for the 6th Duke Of York Royal Hussars from Montreal. It's nice to see something like this, especially as recce unit. Really a wonderful shot, thank you for posting it

I have a lot of respect for re-enactments as they always go to a lot of trouble to get things accurate. I agree, the Armored Car does look very british. Do you have any pictures of Kubelwagens, a real favourite of mine. Good post :)
