Information about original collector.
The avid owner of this extensive military collection was a colorful military soldier in his own right.
His military obsession began as a young child in London who was sent to the country away from his parents and family for safety during WWII with the Operation Pied Piper Program that was started in 1939. This obviously left a life long impression on this young mind.
He joined the British Army at a young age and after 8 years decided he wanted a little bit more adventure so he joined the New Zealand Army. He thought his tour to New Zealand would be his excuse to, "See the World." Unfortunately, he was assigned a position right there in London working along side a high ranking General. After 2 years of not starting his journey to see New Zealand he left the New Zealand Army. Low and behold he saw a John Wayne Military movie and decided that he needed to come to the United States. Hence, he bought a one - way ticket to New York City and upon landing went straight to the Marine Recruitment Center and proceeded to tell them, " I was in the British and New Zealand Army and now I am here to help you guys out!"
He volunteered for two tours in Vietnam and enjoyed many exciting tours in his 20 years with the Marines.
Through the courtesy of the U S Marines, he finally realized his lifelong passion to, "See The World."
Even in retirement he had the desire to help his fellow man. He ended his long Military Career of Honor, Courage and Commitment by becoming a Police Officer for a small town in Louisiana.
What a guy!

Some information about Zee Toys.
ZEE Toys of Hong Kong produced the line, and the US distribution was picked up by Intex in 1981. Intex would remain the US distributor until 1992, when ZEE would assume direct US distribution. The toys themselves were manufactured in Hong Kong. Although generally released as Dyna-Flites, their branding was changed to suit some international markets. Modern Toys of Japan distributed them as "Hot Wings"; "Superwings" in the United Kingdom and in Australia;[1] "Vento Caldo" in Italy and "Hot Wings" elsewhere. These early "Hot Wings" issues must not be confused with the current "Hot Wings" line from another vendor although it does include some ZEE moulds. The Dyna-Flite line consisted of a variety of subjects, including many WWII airplanes (including a "WWII Historical Series" in 1996 with new colors), modern jets both from the US, Europe and the Soviet Union, a biplane and a number of helicopters.
The quality of the toys was variable, although the moulds were generally of better quality than required for a small diecast toy. Most models featured raised rivets or moulded-in lines and relatively robust 'dumbbell-type' metal wheels. Unfortunately, the rotors and clear parts of earlier helicopters (especially the Bell 47) were made from very brittle plastic that broke easily during play. Zee took action to fix this with later releases (e.g. the Kaman Seasprite) by changing the rotors to flexible vinyl.
Dyna-Flites – note correct spelling and use of the hyphen – was a brand of die-cast toy model airplanes sold in the 1970s, '80s and '90s by Zee Toys of California. The line was part of a series of Dyna die-cast products that included toy cars, construction vehicles, bikes and tanks. The Dyna-Flites range included 79 aircraft with over 206 color and marking variations released until production ceased in 1996.
ZEE Toys ceased production in 1996, but the line was purchased by Red Box Toys of Hong Kong in 1997. Production continues to this day, but are sold under the brand Hot Wings, In Air and sometimes under generic brands, often with cast-in marks removed. Former Dyna-Flites pieces can be identified by the "Axxx" reference number moulded into the body. Twenty six of the original moulds have now been retired, being either updated or replaced by other subjects. Red Box Toys went on to release 3 new pieces in 1999 which continued the series' numbering sequence. Those aircraft were an F-19, U-2 'Senior Span' and Me-262. The Me-262 was a new cast, not re-release of the earlier mold in the line. In 2006 Red Box added four WWII Japanese aircraft to the line up. They were released in at least 3 different color combinations: A180 Ki-45 Nick A181 B5N2 Kate A182 Ki-43 Oscar A183 D4Y3 Judy
Zee also released a line called "Super Dyna-Flites", which can be distinguished by a mould numbering sequence of "A2xx". Some of these aircraft continue to be released in the In Air and Hot Wings lines. Often these 3rd party releases include the original ZEE cast in identifiers; sometimes it is edited and on some it is removed entirely.
Compared to some of the other Hong Kong lines from the time (e.g. Mandarin, Cragstan, Wheeler), Dyna-Flites could be of unusually high quality - well beyond what was needed in a toy! It was this model-like quality that made them popular and endearing over the ensuing decades. They are now collectible entities for this reason.
ZEE TOYS - DYNA-FLITES has closed its doors.  This aircraft can only be purchased on the secondary market.
