Show Time for Military CollectiblesPeter Suciu | February 28, 2008 | one comment | Print | E-mail The annual Show of Shows event took place in Louisville, Kentucky from February 21 to the 24.

This year’s event featured more than 1600 tables, along with notable guests including Jack H. Lucas, Medal of Honor Recipient; Colonel Charles E. McGee, WWII P-51 pilot of the Tuskegee Airman, and Ted “Dutch” Van Kirk, navigator of the Enola Gay.
Prices continue to rise, and savvy shoppers had to be wary of fakes. But this year featured more treasures than junk. Here is a look at what the 2008 SOS had to offer:

One Comment to “Show Time for Military Collectibles”
Over 20 yrs ago I was thrilled to visit the home of Mrs. van Kirk..buying her husband book collection, 400 of his model planes etc. AND UNTIL RECENTLY, THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!
Now see with excitement a jolly happy senior sitting at a table on your site!
I would be very happy to make contact with him. I have just retired from a 37 yr Out of Print Bookstore…and as my email suggest, I was a sgt. in the Womens Royal Air Force, hence my excitement when I bought some of his *estate*…
Very plesaed to fall onto this site. regards all..I have 6,000 military books.
