Rare WWII Bill Mauldin?
True, and I really think that nobody would have run that. All of the staffers at Stars and Stripes were strongly against it. As far as I know, Mualdin never actually drew that cartoon, even as a sketch. -
Any remember the Matinee at the Bijou PBS series?
I didn't know that, nor that it was so late in his life when he recorded it. After all these years, the theme song still sticks in my head as well as the opening lines each week...- p51

Any remember the Matinee at the Bijou PBS series?
I was pretty young when this was running, but I never missed an episode, even back at the time, I was in junior high when this was on and of course my friends couldn't understand why anyone would watch it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matinee_at_the_Bijou You tube has a modern variant of it, but...- p51

Rare WWII Bill Mauldin?
Actually, that’s not the original caption at all on that cartoon. What the caption really read was, "Now that ya mention it, it does sound like the patter of rain on a tin roof." -
Rare and Expensive Books
I have first editions of every book cartoonist Bill Mauldin ever did, all with dust jackets where applicable. Among my many Mauldin items, I also have the 1938 yearbook for his high school that shows him as a kid (in ROTC uniform, no less). The rarest book I have by far is a good copy of his...- p51

"Discovery of U-Boat Wrecks Rewrites the History Books"
I’m working with a movie company right now, tweaking parts of a screenplay which might not ever see a camera. One thing I’ve found out in this process is that although you can have any disclaimer you want at the end, you need to be careful when portraying specific people, especially a group when... -
WWII US War Correspondent Collection / Impression
Mike, it’s going to be pretty tough (if not impossible) to prove Mauldin even saw the typewriter. He worked on many machines over the years and only a couple are documented as being “his”. Most serious collectors wouldn’t bother putting any money into something like that. Now that the stamp is... -
What type of Unit/Army are you interested in?
Oh, I totally forgot: 91nd Bomb Group. I'm a life member of their association. Yep, 3rd Brigade, during the transition between a mech unit and what eventually became the Stryker concept. I went round and round with TRADOC and people from the Pentagon every couple of weeks, along with... -

Black armbands for mourning... when did that stop?
Odd, isn't it? What I still don't know is when the practice fell out of favor... [huh]- p51

Rare WWII Bill Mauldin?
The two-volume set is all a fan will ever need on the WW2 years. As for my Mauldin collection, I don't have anything dedicated to it online other than the 2003 article I did on his work, and I've probably well over doubled the collection since then,,, I look as tall and large as I am in real... -
Black armbands for mourning... when did that stop?
You see people in old movies wearing black armbands for mourning. When did this practice cease? I'm 40 and I've never seen it done. Was it a specific religion thing? I have asked plenty of people from various ages and the older folks agree it was done decades ago, but nobody can seem to recall...- p51

What type of Unit/Army are you interested in?
War correspondents, although they don't count as a unit. 2nd ID, because I served with them on active duty. 45th ID, mostly the 180th Infantry, as it was Bill Mauldin's outfit before he joined Stars & Stripes -
Rare WWII Bill Mauldin?
He won the Pulitzer for that one. I concur that “The WW2 Years” set is THE set to have. There’s a postwar set coming out very soon as well. My understanding is that they plan on eventually putting out all of his work until he quit drawing in the 90s. I hope that comes to pass, but I’d think... -
Poll: Where do Fedora Loungers live?
Bah, I scoff at Pardeeville being "small." I live in Washington state, about halfway between Seattle and Portland. The "downtown" we have is about a quarter of what I see in your photo...- p51

4th of July parades?
NICE shots. I really like this one, as I’ve been pushing for our group to have some kind of banner like that. We have nothing saying who were are at all. At the last parade, I had someone just walk up alongside my Jeep and ask if we were the local VFW post. She had a blank look when I replied... -
4th of July parades?
Did anyone else here celebrate Independence Day in 40s style? We had a local parade, in Centralia, WA (halfway between Seattle and Portland, Oregon). So far this year, it’s rained on EVERY major event our group has had since last summer. This year was no exception. There’s a old joke about the... -
WWII Correspondent Howell Dodd - Anyone with Information?
Here is a shot of Dodd “Somewhere in France” Helen, PLEASE post the stuff you have, I’d love to see anything you have of his! I have based my re-enacting “war artist” impression off of Dodd, including re-creating all the markings of his gear. I picked this up off eBay a month ago, a roto... -
WWII US War Correspondent Collection / Impression
I set up a tent display at an airshow over this weekend, It rained most of the time so lots of people came and looked it over, almost all said they had never seen this stuff before. I was interviewed by two newspapers and two TV stations I mostly due to the subject matter of my display: -
The Vintage Camera Club Thread
Doe anyone know of any good websites that give camera ages by serial #s? I was offered a Kodak 35 recently but turned it down because I wasn't sure if it was pre-1945 or not. I still am not sure. I searched a LOT for anything that talks about ages by serial #s but found nothing...- p51
