You can see that it was painted Air Force blue at one time, probably when the Army Air Corp became the Air Force late in the forties.

Actually, the Army Air Corps existed from 1926 until 1941 when it became the Army Air Force.(USAAF) In 1947 the Army Air Force became the US Air Force. I just looked this up as I'm researching my Grandfathers service during WW2 in the AAF. I have all of his paperwork, medals, and German loot he brought back from WW2. Gary

Here's a swiss army (not kidding!!) bike. every young man in switzerland must serve in the army. The bikes that are issued to them they have the option of keeping after service. I spotted this one in the tunnels at the "Top of Europe" weather station. I wanted one really bad but they are kind of expensive (and heavy to ship). Enjoy!

tool bag and pump

drum brake (not working!)

well used leather saddle

Dnepr K-750 Flat-twin Motorcycle & Sidecar

1964 Dnepr K-750 Flat-twin Motorcycle & Sidecar

This K-750 is 1964, but it's the civilian version of the WW2 Russian Army M72 ...which is a clone of the German Army BMW R71

Here they are for comparison: a German BMW R71 (below)

then the Russian M72 (below). The M72 was used with great success by the Russians during WW2.

And, below, my 1964 K-750
