Through the help of a friend, I supplied five military vehicles for a movie named "The Last Castle" - spent five days there with my friends doing the driving - on screen this was split into two sequences - one about 5 seconds, and the other during the closing credits.
Also helped a friend do the MV driving in another movie - Stateside - can actually be seen in it. Did some consulting work on "The Good German.
Was interviewed for "top 10 armored personnel carriers" - wound up on the cutting room floor for that one.
Wrote the second edition of Standard Catalog of U.S. Military Vehicles, and the Standard Catalog of German Military Vehicles for Krause Publications, and 21 other books.
Write for Classic Military Vehicles, Military Vehicles Magazine, Army Motors and a dozen or so other periodicals.
Met TV and movie star James Gandolfini while on The Last Castle, and Niel Young at a toy train show, and Justin Timberlake at my hobby shop.
Thats as close to fame as I get......
Best,
David Doyle
