A few of my favorite pictures.  Click the thumbnails to see the full size pics.

 

 

    

These are pictures of my grandfather, George Edward Bloom.  We didn’t know a lot about when or where they were taken, but after showing them to Charles Lemmons at the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox, he told us this; they are M1917 Light Tanks of company C, 16th Tank Battalion, Fort Meade MD, taken between 1926 and 1929.  This is based on several points.  The first is that the coats being worn were not introduced until 1926, the second is that the 16th Tank Battalion is redesignated as the 1st Battalion, 1st Tank Regiment in September of 1929

 

 

 

This is my British Ferret Armored Reconnaisance Car.  Street legal and lots of fun! 

 

 

 

Two shots of me firing the flamethrower at Allegheny Arms & Armor Museum, Smethport, PA.  The one on the left was around 1998, the one on the right was 2004.
