Issue 132 concludes our epic four-issue tour of the Army & Armed Forces Training Center playsets of the 1950's & 60's. This issue covers 1957 - 1960s with about 19 sets discussed and contents given. I'm saying that from memory but it involves the transitional sets to 54mm, many of the "Double Dip" sets that came out as 40mm figure sets then were reloaded as 54mm sets causing much confusion that I think we have been able to clear up. There's plenty of vintage catalog work here from PJ and all the gang give this a "deep dive" feel with lots of details revealed. Our thanks to Rick Eber, Jim Grimes, Jim McGough, Craig Remington and our Master Chief of proofing and army experience Paul Gruendler.

I'd also like to add that the entire four parts was one that I knew we'd have to tackle as far back as I can remember for the magazine, with files starting in 1998 when I thought maybe it would be a Tom Terry article. The files just kept building, matching contents to set numbers, until one day most of the questions were answered by research and conventional set-openings. Either way this is a marathon of sets so we can all know with certainty "what was in which box" and I remember Jim McGough, one of our earliest collaborators along with Rick Eber warning, "this will never fit in one issue." Jim and I were laughing about that the other day. No, it never did. But four issues covers it pretty well, we think, and now we present the big finale to you, dear reader, for your evaluations and enjoyment.

Jim Clouse delivers our DioDrama, the first-ever depiction of an Armed Forces - Cape Canaveral mash up that comes off really cleverly, and is a wonderful adjunct to the main feature.
