I love the idea, but that's because I play a board game called B17 at a convention every year in Lancaster PA. I have yet to make it 4 missions without getting shot down.  |

It sounds to me that Lancaster would be an appropriate place for an aircraft board game! If my memory serves me correctly, there are two Lancasters with a C.of A. One of them is in the R.A.F. Historic Flight.

I still say the Holocaust,or the bombing of Hiroshima,and Nagasaki.66000 people died only from Hiroshima.75000 people died only from Nagasaki.141,000 people died in all you can not tell me that dose not need a comm. I can't help but wonder if that would be viewed as a "you people better do as we say, or we'll do this again" kind of veiled threat? |

The death count matters because it affected a lot of people.This one I just thought of cold war comm it would have a b36 peacemaker on the one side and harry s Truman on one side.I have never heard of a b17 board game.Jizer1 where did you get the b17 board game?

I don't believe the US should commemorate those above myself. Even though the bombing was done by the US I don't believe it deserves to be commemorated on a US coin, I think that would make the general public in the US and in other countries think the US were bragging about all the people the atomic bomb killed. I believe if they could sweep it under the rug and wiped away from history they would instead of making a coin commemorate the event. The Holocaust is another thing that I don't believe the US needs to commemorate. |

I do that was a nation wide event.As far as the bombing the us should it ended ww2 .The us or japan should.The coin should have the Enogla Gay on one side and the bombs over japan on one side.

I have seen a silver medallion with Enola Gay on it. A medallion is the best medium for this type of commemoration.

i wont buy anything that relates to the wars or devices of war. to me that commemorates death of innocent people. the idea of the end of war coins does interest me though, much like the aussie remembrance coin.

Well, getting back on topic, if the USMint was anything like our friends at the RCM, you bet there would have been a Memphis Belle commemorative, and 452 others commemorating the events and personages of WWII. There probably should be Congressional gold medal made, instead of a general commemorative coin. Thank goodness for only TWO programs a year and not more. |

Has anyone here seen the movie Memphis Belle? I have and I thought it was great! That's why I voted yes. But I see why people would vote no. There are a lot of issues out there worthy of a commemorative. I like the idea of an Air Force commemorative. They've done a Marine corps and an Army. I don't think there is one for the Navy but there should be as well. Putting out too many commens would seem to degrade the program |
