"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address
Interesting that they used Centigrade for the Oil inlet temperature (about 6:20 in the video). Had no idea that metric was in partial use back then for US equipment.
Apologies for being off-topic. I was replying to you re your Father being in 10th Cav. An honored history there- he must be proud of his service. I've not read much of that unit though the Scott Dixon series by Harold Doyle comes to mind- armored v horses but the spirit is there IMO. V/R (Or perhaps I am just having another Senior Moment)
