B-17G Yankee Lady at Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's WW2 Weekend, Reading, Pennsylvania.
Flight in a B-17G, owned, restored, and operated by Yankee Air Museum ( This flight was in Reading, Pennsylvania during Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's WW2 Weekend, Flight 16, 11am, Sunday, June 4th, 2017.
This B-17G was built late in the war and never saw combat. Post war, it served a number of purposes ranging from United States Coast Guard patrol, to aerial surveying, to fighting fires, and was even used in the movie, Tora, Tora, Tora. It was acquired by Yankee Air Museum in 1986 and nearly a decade of significant restoration was done to return the plane to military configuration.
If you get a chance to fly on one of these old aircraft, and have the spare change, please do. Not only is the experience surreal, but you also help to keep them flying.

Philadelphia in the early fifties
The city of Brotherly Love in the late forties, early fifties.
Featuring (wobbly footage) street trolleys, buses, the Reading Lines' Reading Train and Bus Terminal, trains, the port, RR ferry and Delaware River Bridge, a water plane landing on the river, M.S. Keystone State, the Frankford Elevated SUBWAY, PRT elevated train station with Line 14 train, various street scenes, vintage neon lights, cars, water planes moored on the river banks' seaplane ramp. Also featuring the Pennsylvania Rail Road Ferry Terminal on Market Street. During the 19th century, railroads linked the Atlantic with the Pacific coast. Trains from Philadelphia also ran north, south and east to towns and cities on the Atlantic shore. Steamships and ferries connected the city to New Jersey and Delaware. However, it was during the 1880s and 1890s that electrification of trolley cars, elevated and subway trains made rapid public transit possible in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company.
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets. The complex was fronted on Market by an eight-story headhouse that housed the passenger station and company headquarters. Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Many of those trains would be converted to electric power in a project that began in 1928 and basically completed in 1933. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971. The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
PRR Railroad Ferry to Camden
Yet because no bridge crossed the width of the Delaware between Philadelphia and Camden until 1926, ferries provided a vital connection for rail passengers bound for New York and points north. Beginning in the 1850s many companies, including the Camden and Atlantic (C&A) Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), acquired ferries to augment their existing lines. In 1854, the C&A purchased the Cooper family’s operations and offered more frequent service between Camden and Philadelphia.
The ferries’ vehicle-carrying business was greatly reduced by the 1926 opening of the Delaware River Bridge, now called the Ben Franklin, but the boats kept steaming across the river. A major impact on ferry facilities and operations was also caused by the two railroads’ combining most of their South Jersey lines in 1933 into the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. Trains on ex-Reading lines were rerouted to and from the Pennsylvania’s train and ferry terminal, and the Reading’s Kaighn’s Point terminal and ferry were abandoned in 1934. The last of the railroad-owned passenger and vehicle ferries which served our area, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Philadelphia and Camden Ferry, was in itself a colorful transportation system. The boats on this line were sturdy vessels with steel hulls and upper structures and basically painted in the same Tuscan red color scheme as the passenger train cars of both the Pennsy and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. The name “Pennsylvania Railroad” and the boats’ individual names were emblazoned in gold letters on their sides. The names of the vessels were also lettered in gold on gold-bordered black signs on their pilot houses – one facing Camden, the other facing Philadelphia. The Pennsy’s logo, a bright red keystone in a circle with intertwined gold letters, PRR, was flamboyantly displayed on both sides of each boat’s black smokestack. The ferry service was discontinued in 1952 and, by 1957, the terminal had been torn down. PRR passenger ferries were named after Southern New Jersey towns such as Bridgeton, Ventnor and Haddonfield. Time to cross the Delaware river was less than eight minutes.
I have dated this footage ''late 40s early 50s''. Your help is welcome to date this video in a more accurate manner, my own timestamp referrals are:
-Route (or Line) number 5 (3.09min) was abandoned in 1955.
-The ferry service was discontinued in 1952 (and, by 1957, the terminal had been torn down).
With the Ferry still in service, this is 1952 at the max.

WWII Weekend Part 2: Battle of the Bulge
**Be sure to click High Quality under the video next to Views
This is the second part of my series documentation of my trip to WWII Weekend at Reading Regional Airport, PA.
This Battle of the Bulge reinactment following words from Red is edited with inspiration from the HBO program Band of Brothers after shooting as a spectator. Most impressive is the complete land and air support involved.
Part 1:
Part 3:
As I am passionate and appreciative of the incredible history surrounding World War II, and especially our veterans, I must also say the people that put this event together did a tremendous job.
These are the waning days that we have a chance to meet and thank guys in person like Red, one of the original Band of Brothers that bravely invaded Fortress Europe on DDay.
Best viewed with a decent sound system!
Prepare for gunfire!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Reading ( RED-ing; Pennsylvania German: Reddin) is a city in and the county seat of Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. With a population of 87,575, it is the fifth-largest city in Pennsylvania. Located in the southeastern part of the state, it is the principal city of the Greater Reading Area, and is furthermore included in the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden PA-NJ-DE-MD Combined Statistical Area.
The city, which is approximately halfway between the state's most populous city, Philadelphia, and the state capital, Harrisburg (as well as about halfway between Allentown and Lancaster) is strategically situated along a major transportation route from Central to Eastern Pennsylvania, and lent its name to the now-defunct Reading Railroad, which transported anthracite coal from the Pennsylvania Coal Region to the eastern United States via the Port of Philadelphia. Reading Railroad is one of the four railroad properties in the classic United States version of the Monopoly board game.
Reading was one of the first localities where outlet shopping became a tourist industry. It has been known as The Pretzel City, because of numerous local pretzel bakeries. Currently, Bachman, Dieffenbach, Tom Sturgis, and Unique Pretzel bakeries call the Reading area home.
According to the 2010 census, Reading has the highest share of citizens living in poverty in the nation.In recent years, the Reading area has become a destination for cyclists. With more than 125 miles of trails in five major preserves, it is an International Mountain Bicycling Association Ride Center and held the Reading Radsport Festival on September 8–9, 2017.In April 2017, it was announced that an indoor velodrome, or cycling track, will be built in Reading as the first of its kind on the East Coast and only the second in the entire country. Albright College and the World Cycling League formally announced plans April 6, 2017, to build the $20 million, 2,500-seat facility, which will be called the National Velodrome and Events Center at Albright College. It will also serve as the Cycling League's world headquarters.

The Commemorative Air Force's B-29 Superfortress FIFI takes the stage over the Reading Regional Airport on Saturday to fly a fantastic three-pass demonstration. FIFI is currently, as of June 2015, the world's only airworthy B-29 Superfortress. A project in the midwestern United States is very close to getting DOC, another B-29, airborne, with the hopes to join FIFI at certain airshows in 2015.
I apologize for any shakiness in the video and the picture appearing to shake violently as there was a considerable amount of camera trouble throughout the weekend.

Commemorative Air Force B-25J Miss Mitchell
Flight in the Minnesota Wing Miss Mitchell B-25J.
This B25J was built in 1944 and served as a trainer within the United States. It was acquired by CAF in the late 70s and assigned to the Minnesota Wing for restoration. The bomber is painted in impression of another B25J that flew during the war, Miss Mitchell. Miss Mitchell flew 130 missions with no casualties. Unfortunately the real Miss Mitchell was destroyed post war when it was used for aerial target practice.
