Ah, the glories of public domain materials. Nice box!
I'm glad it's not refurbished.

Favorite little known highlight of WW2:
Battle of the Bismark Sea.
"Then 13 Bristol Beaufighters from No. 30 Squadron RAAF approached at low level, to give the impression they were Beauforts making another torpedo attack. The ships turned to face them, and the Beaufighters were then able to inflict maximum damage on the ships' anti-aircraft guns, bridges and crews, during strafing runs with their four 20 mm (0.787 in) nose cannons and six wing-mounted .303 in (7.7 mm) machine guns.
Japanese transport under aerial attack in the Bismarck Sea March 3, 1943.
Immediately afterwards, 13 USAAF Mitchells bombed from about 750 metres (2,500 ft). Then 12 Mitchells made a "skip bombing" attack, reportedly claiming 17 hits. By this time, half of the transport ships were sunk or sinking. As the Beaufighters and Mitchells expended their munitions, some USAAF A-20s joined the attack..."
