By Carmelo Turdo

The Lewis & Clark Branch of the St. Louis County Library featured a display of World War II Japanese model aircraft in remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.  The models, in1:72 scale, were made by Mr. Frederick Busse,  have been in a handsome case in the library lobby throughout December, and are of impeccable quality.  Also included in the case are books and other memorabilia to set the scene of Japanese naval air forces used in the Pearl Harbor attack and through the rest of hostilities.  Special thanks to Mr. Busse and the St. Louis County Library for presenting this excellent exhibit!
