The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hey, you gotta' follow any of those guys as NCO's into combat anywhere! Jack Palance in "Attack" was seriously spooky (OK, he's a Lt. in that one). Laughing

(I gotta' wonder about taking an armored vehicle into combat with the gun in travel lock, though)...

Eddie Albert takes on a crappy portrayal there, but he navigated a Higgin's Boat ashore at Normandy in real life, IIRC.

The Broderick Crawford bit seems just wrong without him saying "10-4, 10-4!", though.

As it turns out, you are correct (hence, the "IIRC"):

"Prior to World War II, and before his film career, Albert toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus, but secretly worked for U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.[3] On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. A genuine war hero, he was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November, 1943, when, as the pilot of a U.S. Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[4]"

You never would have thought that of him after watching an episode of "Green Acres". Mr. Green

A lot of Hollywood personalities (can't call them all actors) were in uniform. My only real concern is how "Scotty" James Montgomery "Jimmy" Doohan of Star Trek honours isn't very accurately described; he joined the Royal Canadian Artillery in 1940, and subsequently became an artillery observer pilot.

Oh I know that. It's just that all during his "career" I never knew much about him.
