On June 6th, Lt. Dan Antrim made his fourth consecutive visit to the annual World War
II Weekend that is located at the Spaatz Airfield in Reading, Pa. This was a fantastic
opportunity to visit time into 1944. This year, they hosted more than 1,000 re-creatorsand entertainers, over 70 aircraft and 200 World War II era vehicles as well as a very
special group of guests. The weekend consisted of ten shows in one (1)Air show, (2)
Military Vehicle Show, (3) 1940’s Entertainment Festival, (4) Multiple War Front Dis-
plays, (5) Great American Home Front Displays, (6) WWII Battle re-creations, (7) Super
Military Flea Market, (8)WWII Personality Impressions, (9) Talk to Local WWII vets
and (10) National Veterans. There was a fully outfitted French Village with a dramatic
infantry assault on open ground and a fully staffed field hospital.
The Great American Home Front display re-created a 1940’s house, with a Radio station
that was on the air, and a Department store with 1940 items for sale. There was a re-
creation of FDR greeting MacArthur as he arrived in a C-54. These two pictures were
included to share Lt. Antrim’s week-end experiences to his friends in CAP.More will follow in the next Propwash.
