Lionel Tarr

Further to my previous posts on Lionel Tarr, here are what appear to be some original photographs of his wargame set up in his loft, for his Russo-German Campaign of 1941, and his use of an over-the-table net for dogfighting aircraft. Interesting to note the militaria - caps, gas mask, medals - hanging on the wall.

Blimey! Where did that company spring from? Surprise attack by Russian Guards eat of Berislavl

    That really is very impressive - I'm particularly taken with the technique of balancing a warplane on his head - just a touch of HG Wells about that. Presumably someone would throw boxing gloves at him to shoot it down.

    More classic 1950s wallpaper in photos as well - great stuff!
