firecrackers,  attempting to simulate the actual circumstances of B-24s
and B-17s over  Germany, only to paste them back together to be blown
up again.  They  eventually got pretty goopy with model airplane glue
residue.  My mom  thought we were nuts.)


Joe, you were supposed to burn them.  You put airplane glue on them in  
various places to simulate flak damage, then lit the glue.  It smoked like  mad 
and burned with an appropriately ugly orange flicker, like the devil's  
tongue.  I had friends who would spend many hours constructing elaborate  
models, whether cars, ships or planes--their common fate was immolation.  
 
I always wondered why girls didn't enjoy such neat pastimes.
