You can make out the British Flag, and what looks like a double decker bus, I also can read Whitehall in the gothic German script.

Yes. I can see it but don't know what it is. Obviously Japanese. I'm guessing early WWII in China somewhere.

First, Good morning!

As for that dude. Here did a lot. His name was Major "Pappy" Boyington. First off he was a member of the Flaying Tigers before the US entered WWII. Then he commanded the famous VMF-214 "Black Sheep" squadron. He was one of the top aces of the Pacific until he was shot down and captured. He was awarded the MoH as well. Finally, he had one of my favorite TV shows from my childhood based on his wartime exploits "Baa Baa Black Sheep".

That's a British made Vickers armored car from the 30's. They were used by a number of countries and were pretty common in the 1920's & 1930's. The one in your picture has Japanese markings.

My favorite show, too. I used to run around the playground playing that in elementary school.

That's an American T-18 tank destroyer from the 1930's.

I'll give a bit more time and see if anyone knows. Here's a hint, this was the main vehicle of US Cavalry scouts in Europe during WWII.

Yeah, the T-18 is like the very first TD on the American line in that game.
