The March 18th episode of Jeopardy contained a clue referencing one of my favourite warships. #HalifaxAuthor #ILoveJeopardy #FirstWorldWarHistory #SecondWorldWarHistory

I recently finished reading 'The Spy Who Loved', by Clare Mulley, and it is a great companion read with her, 'The Women Who Flew For Hitler'. These are fascinating stories and I highly recommend reading both books. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #WomenInWar @claremulley.bsky.social

The Airfix 'wallpaper' calendar for March is the iconic de Havilland Mosquito, in this case TA719, built in 1945. You can visit one of the stars of 633 Squadron at the Imperial War Museum Duxford - www.iwm.org.uk/collections/... #HalifaxAuthor #RoyalAirForce #Airfix #SecondWorldWarHistory

On this date in 1917, the CSS Acadia was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy. Today, she is a museum ship on the Halifax, Nova Scotia waterfront. Learn more about this veteran of both world wars at: maritimemuseum.novascotia.ca/what-see-do/... #FirstWorldWarHistory #SecondWorldWarHistory

Excellent work as always, Steve. 😮❤🇨🇦🇬🇧 #SecondWorldWarHistory

Hetzer - Wikipedia

I remember a friend of mine describing a tank in World of Tanks as a toaster. I immediately knew what he was talking about. 🙂❤🇨🇦 #SecondWorldWarHistory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetzer

Happy World of Tanks Wednesday! On the November 11th episode of Jeopardy one of the categories was, 'A Salute to Veteran's Day' and this was one of the clues. None of the contestants got it. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #VeteransDay2025 #WoTWednesday #WorldOfTanks

Another gem by Steve Bowe. Boeing's B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most recognizable and iconic warplanes in my opinion. I can't wait to see how the next, slightly smaller Fortress comes out. 🙂❤🇨🇦🇬🇧 #SecondWorldWarHistory

Once again, Steve has worked his modeling magic and presents a beautiful build of this B-17F from the 303rd Bombardment Group. Learn more about the 303rd at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/303rd_A... #SecondWorldWarHistory @usairforce.bsky.social

Ditto on the staying safe. We watch what is going on down there from this side of your northern border and just shake our collective heads. Speaking of Chamber Divers, this arrived today. 🙂❤🇨🇦🇬🇧⚓ #SecondWorldWarHistory

We are delighted to announce that Men of Coastal Command: 1939-1945 by Chaz Bowyer is published today! This much-overlooked branch of the RAF protected Britain’s seas from the air during World War Two. Get it here: getbook.at/MenofCoastal...

World War II Era Weapons Still Threatening Lives and Development in the Solomon Islands The military forces of WW2 left a massive legacy of unexploded ordnance still scattered across the Solomon Islands.

From Britain and Europe to Australia and the Pacific Islands, unexploded bombs dating back to the Second World War are still being discovered. And in developing countries they still take lives and hinder national development...

Deadly threat of unexploded bombs in the Pacific persists 80 years on Eighty years after WWII, Solomon Islanders face the ongoing threat of death and injury from hidden, unexploded bombs.

It is eighty years since the end of World War II, but, in some far-flung remote countries, leftover ageing weapons and ordnance are still taking a tragic human toll.....

A recent addition to my diecast collection is this Militaria Models 1/43 scale Chevrolet C8A 4x4 in markings of the Canadian Army's 2nd Armored Brigade in 1944. The company provides a nice description of the actual vehicle. #HalifaxAuthor #CanadianArmy #SecondWorldWarHistory #DiecastCollector

Disgusting. 🤨❤🇨🇦📖 #SecondWorldWarHistory

Happy Throwback Thursday! On this date in 1940. the Battle of Britain began. Here are shots I took of the Hurricane XII at the Canadian Forces Base (now 12 Wing) Shearwater International Air Show in the mid 1980s. #ThrowbackThursday #SecondWorldWarHistory @royalairforce.bsky.social

That will be a perfect companion to these two. @rcaffoundation.bsky.social #SecondWorldWarHistory

I just finished reading and highly recommend 'Inside Nuremberg Prison', by Dr. Helen Fry, the story of Howard Triest, a German Jew, and his time as a translator for psychiatrists interviewing Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg. #SecondWorldWarHistory

Here's another military history clue (there was another for the Burma Road as well) from last evening's Jeopardy Masters finale. Victoria nailed this one. 🙂❤🇨🇦 #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social @britisharmy.bsky.social #CTV

Here's an appropriate clue from last evening's Jeopardy Masters finale. Yogesh nailed the answer. 🙂❤🇨🇦 #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

OTD in 1941, the German battleship Bismarck was sunk. I just acquired the 20th Century Fox film, 'Sink The Bismarck', starring starring Kenneth More, and Dana Wynter. It was great to finally see the movie in widescreen. @royalnavy.bsky.social @20thcenturystudios.bsky.social #SecondWorldWarHistory

On this date in 1941, HMS Hood was sunk by the battleship Bismarck. She was launched 22 August, 1918, and you can learn more about her at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Hood This image is from my 1939 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory

Last evening's Jeopardy Masters had an interesting naval clue that the contestant answered correctly at the last second. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #JeopardyMasters

My copy of 'Victory In Europe' from Warships International Fleet Review arrived this week, and flipping through the pages, I can see there an extensive amount of photos and information in there. If you see it on the newsstands, grab one. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #WarshipsIFR
