HISTORY ASPECTS: The WC-121N “Draggin’ Lady, ” operated by the US Navy’s Weather Reconnaissance Squadron VW-1, had a significant role during the late 1960s. These aircraft were converted from the Lockheed Super Constellation and served as weather reconnaissance platforms. The primary mission of the WC-121N was to gather meteorological data, especially in the Pacific region, to support military operations and improve overall weather forecasting. In 1967, during the Vietnam War, the WC-121N “Draggin’ Lady” played a crucial role in providing real-time weather information to support naval and air operations in the Pacific theater. Weather conditions were of paramount importance for planning and executing military missions, and the aircraft’s reconnaissance capabilities contributed to the safety and effectiveness of these operations. While not directly involved in armed conflicts, the WC-121N’s contributions were invaluable to military planning and decision-making during this period. This 1:200 scale model pays homage to this unique aircraft, capturing its distinctive features and markings of the WC-121N. Displaying this replica is a tribute to the vital role that weather reconnaissance played in military operations, especially during an era where accurate meteorological data was critical for strategic planning. Dimensions approximately Length- 7, Wingspan- 7.5 inches. Diecast metal and plastic construction for durability and a heavy, realistic feel. Customer service is our top priority!

This sight was used by BOTH the Army and Navy during the war, on aircraft such as the North American B-25 Mitchell, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Grumman TBF Avenger, Douglas TBD Devastator, Martin JM Marauder, and others! The Norden bombsight was a tachymetric bombsight used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and the United States Navy during World War II, to aid the crew of bomber aircraft in dropping bombs accurately. Key to the operation of the Norden were two features; an analog computer that constantly calculated the bomb’s trajectory based on current flight conditions, and a linkage to the bomber’s autopilot that let it react quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects. Together, these features allowed for unprecedented accuracy in day bombing from high altitudes. Both the Navy and the AAF saw this as a means to achieve war aims through high-altitude bombing, without resorting to area bombing, as proposed by European forces. To achieve these aims, the Norden was granted the utmost secrecy well into the war, and was part of a then-unprecedented production effort on the same scale as the Manhattan Project. Ranked 46th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts. The last combat use of the Norden was in the US Navy’s VO-67 squadron, which used them to drop sensors onto the Ho Chi Minh Trail as late as 1967. The Norden remains one of the best known bombsights of all time. Made of solid brass, aluminum, and steel with an black crackle-paint finish, this Norden bombing sight in is in AMAZING condition! It retains 98% of it’s original paint and finish, with NO major damage or corrosion! It comes with its original transport/mounting rack, and appears to be 100% complete! It is not currently attached to the rack, as one of the rack’s mounting clamps is broken (also missing the securing strap). It is 100% mechanically functional, but I do not know if it is electrically, as I have no way of testing it. The data label is 100% COMPLETE, and clearly indicates. MARK 15 MOD 7. LUKAS – HAROLD CORP. Overall, it is in EXCELLENT condition, with only a few marks and scratches from the age. Sadly, the rubber around the eyepiece has corroded over time. Optics are also VERY clear! Have indicated it’s location in the last photos. A SUPERB example, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display! TERMS OF SALE.

Maximuseverus Antiques, Art & Artifacts. WWII USN M-69 F Leather Transport Coat Trenchcoat Navy Pilot. I think it is approximately Size 50-52. ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE. Rare early 1940’s WW2 US Naval Aviator Flight Jacket Overcoat. The M69 was created for long-range missions in cold weather conditions, including the Atlantic. Worn by aircraft carrier pilots, the m69 offered greater protection for sustained periods in the air and over harsh sea weather, most notably on a submarine hunting sorties. The M-69 was later phased out when the G1 flying jacket became more popular but it remains a rare example of 1940s aviation wear. The coat is fully lined with a mouton fur collar, constructed in pure goatskin leather with a fantastic reddish patina. USN tag spec and USN stamp to back collar. Has original belt and features long trench design. Excellent condition, although there is a small worn area on the left collar tip fur. Skip to the beginning of the images gallery.
