Title: 30 seconds over Tokyo Post by: oscar on December 24, 2008, 01:33:58 pm Did anyone watch 30 seconds over Tokyo last night? There was a strange soda machine at the army base that Van Johnson got a couple of sodas out of. It was taller than he was and about 4ft wide with a place to put empty bottles under the base. The empty bottles were on a slant like a VMC 27. The top was flat and had a padlock on the front. Tried to find it in the book but nothing even close.

Vendo 44. He asked his friends what kind of pop they wanted, and returned to the car with one bottle of Coca Cola and 2 bottles of Royal Crown :biggrin: Title: Re: 30 seconds over Tokyo Post by: 90grad on December 27, 2008, 08:13:44 am Oscar,
I posted a link to a YouTube video on this machine in the movie topic in this section. I've always wondered about it, too. Some years back, some one posted a picture of a machine like that one on here asking about it. It matched up to the movie machine perfectly. For the life of me, I can't recall the model. On a side note, if anyone ever wants to read about some guys who are true heroes, read about the guys on this mission. |
