Four days and 68 years after D-Day, we open our selections with a tank that was obsolete and did not make it across the channel as a fighting machine. It is the Forces of Valor 1:32 scale M3 LEE TUNISIA 1942 for $39.00 from Toy Train Heaven.
Pay no attention to the claim that this is a UK version (they preferred the Grant anyway) when you click here:

It doesn't matter whether you were a P-51, F-86, F-104 or a Spitfire Pilot, or a B-17 Gunner, you probably flew in the T-6. The T-6 was perhaps the most important aircraft design of all time. The world's most famous Trainer/COIN aircraft was used by over 55 countries. The T-6 was built in greater numbers than most of the aircraft that it trained pilots for, or against. Over 17,000 Texan aircraft were manufactured by North American and other companies. Designed as a Basic Trainer, the T-6 would be used as a Advanced Trainer, Fighter, Interceptor, Fighter-Bomber, Forward Air Controller, and Counter-insurgency aircraft. The Texan saw action in WWII, Korea and Vietnam, and in dozens of Brush fire wars around the world including Algeria, the Congo, Biafra, the Middle East and throughout Latin America. There are over 800 still flying today.
