    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Oh, there's so many but I've always had a fondness for the night fighter/ bomber P-61 Black Widow. Not too long ago I met an amazing woman named Iris Critchell (scroll down for her bio) who was in the 1936 Olympics and later a WASP during WWII. She ferried P-61's and many others from the...

    I'm going to be in England for the first time ever this summer. I'm drooling at the possibility of visiting the Imperial War Museum -- top of my itinerary. Any other suggestions for museum/ WW1/WW2 experiences in London, Paris, and /or Lyon?

    Nuances of WWII HBT pants??

    "Rag Shop"? Is that the British equivalent of an American thrift store? How are the European thrift stores? I's sure that US thrift stores, especially in metropolitan areas, are so great b/c Americans are the world's champions at conspicuous consumption.:o I'm going on my honeymoon...

    Nuances of WWII HBT pants??

    This is my first post! It's funny I should happen upon this thread, because ironically, I just found a pair of reversible 1st camo pattern HBT's at a thrift store here in Santa Barbara. I thought maybe everyone might enjoy seeing them. The condition is fantastic (if they're authentic and not...
