Duke, do you mean Lance Bronnenkant's Blue Max Airmen Vol. 5? Uni and medal photos in that classic. Not that exact photo, but similar. Lots of repros of MvR's unis. Yes that is exactly what I was thinking and, in fact, just got done looking at it before I came here. And yes again. The similar uniform layout and display got me thinking that the "seller" just took his photo from that book but there are differences in background, etc...

Ever wondered what happened to King Arthurs Round Table? It's in my Aunties house, with a vase of Petunia's on it

The uniform is still available, in case one of you gents is interested. I'm sure it would look great when put on display next to the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny. Hasse, I'm painfully aware of it. Bloody eBay keeps sending me email reminders that the uniform is still available. I'm praying for someone to buy it.

.... The photo belows shows the gongs of MvR attached to a pillow that was carried around in his funeral, as was the German custom: As you can see, the man was a walking stack of decorations! I'm not impressed. I don't see a single award for a Rick Rawlings Challenge, nor a BOC pin. All those others MvR could have just gotten off of eBay...
