Unappreciated masterpieces?
"The Wind and the Lion" sad how few people even know this movie exists today. I have told many people about the film over the years and have always met with sleptical responses. None can believe a Sean Connery movie, directed by John Millius, could have ever escaped their notice. And Brian...- p51

Share your own art here :)
This year, I'm finally going to get my olde work scanned into a book of my professional work from 1985 when i started (I was in high school then). It'll take quite a while but my goal is to have the book complete and ready to order well before new years 2015. Click here for updates.- p51

WWII Navy Pilot Reenactor
The bottom line is PTO anything isn't popular for re-enactors and I'm certain that it will never be (frankly, I think it's because nobody wants to be the Japanese and it leaves the German guys out in the cold). Accordingly, I can't see there ever being much in the way of USN stuff. It drives me... -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Fair enough. I do agree about the hotdog thing, but that said, I could imagine the royals constantly talking about it to that level, at that moment. Talk about the hype of the film means nothing to do me as I don't recall ever hearing any. I just wanted to see Murray's portrayal of FDR. The...- p51

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I just finished, "Hyde Park on Hudson". Amazing film, even though it's more of a filmed play than any reliable depiction of history...- p51

Russian Imax movie on Stalingrad
He told me it was 'a small movie that wanted you to think it was big,' he said that you get no concept of scale, most of the scenes take place in a very small area and it's clear when you watch the movie. He also said the CGI was 'Pearl Harbor-quality unbelievable'. Lots of criticisms of... -
Russian Imax movie on Stalingrad
A pal of mine saw this movie just the other day. He said it just didn't live up to the hype and that he thought the German movie of the same name was far better. I loved reading that part! -

WWII Correspondent Howell Dodd - Anyone with Information?
It's been a while but I just scored a couple of WW2 drawings of Dodd's, they're both AP news photos for newspaper reproduction. I can scan them and put them here if anyone wants to see them... -

Okay, but when was this specific design first introduced to consumers?- p51

Military Surplus fashion in the 1940s and 1950s
I grew up in a town which had a women's college which went co-ed in 1947 as part of the GI Bill (it's known today as Florida State University). Over the years I lived there, I talked with plenty of people who recall the immediate postwar era and the 50s. I was told it was very common to see...- p51

What timeframe are these chairs?
Just wondering what timeframe chairs like this would have been first made? Would these have been seen in the WW2 era? I saw lots of them growing up in the area my parents are from, all the old timers had them. But I've always wondered when they started making these. I just found some as O...- p51

1942 in your driveway
Amen. I ran a Ordnance Company in the Army and we worked on them all the time. I was the Battalion master Driver officer so I was rated to drive everything a heavy mech brigade had (I have to admit I thought driving M1A1s was pretty col but never wanted to do that all the time). I was never...- p51

New Bonnie and Clyde mini series on the History Channel
BARs are much easier to control as they weigh so much (M-60s and M-249s are, as well, for the same reason, but I digress), but they're a bear to aim unless they're sitting on a bipod, due to their weight. I've picked up several weapons like that in my lifetime and fired them, off the shoulder...- p51

New Bonnie and Clyde mini series on the History Channel
I've shot several Thompsons in the past. Your father was right, they are very hard to control. My late Uncle accidently fired one inside a building in WW2, and it was almost pointing straight up by the time he managed to get his finger off the trigger.- p51

New Bonnie and Clyde mini series on the History Channel
I just knew they'd have a "Kodak moment" right before they got schwacked. The whole, 'appreciating everything' moment seemed silly, there wasn't any reason for them to expect it was gonna happen right down the road. Also, I thought I read somewhere that Bonnie either got out of the car or was...- p51

History Channel Gone Wrong
I know two people who were paid to try to 'sell' items on Pawn Stars that were never for sale, they even told them how to act and what to say. The guy I bought my 1944 Willys MB Jeep from was filmed for 'American Pickers' and again, they told him what type of role they wanted. The guy can't do...- p51

I liked it. But it seems odd that they never addressed Clyde having a thing for guys? Can't wait for part 2, I am sure I saw a very rare Colt Monitor machine gun being used in the preview!- p51
