    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    Might I add, FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING and the private institution that started it! (Say no more!) And, that monstrosity that resides in Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan. (Saying no more!) -dixon cannon

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    I would immediately have to agree with H_A_S, above!... cell fones and texting devices!!! What dehumanizing devices these have become. Perhaps I should throw in iPods as well and their precursor the 'WalkMan' for the same reason. I guess having said that, I'd have to include the "Boom Box"...

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I can't remember if I joined this illustrious group, but I'm not going through 283 pages to find out! So, for better or worse, here I am (again)! My two qualifying Borsalino's with which I am most happily, a Borsalino Brother. -dixon 'Borsalino' cannon

    Please judge fit of my new A2

    R.P. - Look at these photos. Do you like the look? If you do than it fits PERFECTLY! Believe me, nobody is going to fault you for your choice of jacket and it's fit. If we were on a mission together, I'd say "great jacket, my friend!" and never give another thought to the subject. (You look...

    Check out the leather jackets in this video of WW2 bomber crews being interviewed.

    That is Col. Curtis LeMay being interviewed. You can see by his demeanor that he is pretty much no nonsense and by the book. Fascinating to see and hear him at the beginning of his illustrious career, prior to his victories in the PTO. Excellent - thanks for sharing...

    What does this refer to?

    Sure looks like a Gleason move - though, could just as well be Bob Hope! I know I've seen it - It jogs a memory but I couldn't find anything similar on YouTube. -dixon cannon

    Records of WWII Family Lost - How To Recover?

    The Fire A fire at the NPRC in St. Louis on July 12, 1973, destroyed about 80 percent of the records for Army personnel discharged between November 1, 1912, and January 1, 1960.

    Ah, yes - I see that now not only at 2:10 but in the shot of the still photograph as well. A2, indeed. Any idea what the narrator is saying at the end of the piece? -dixon cannon

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Very fascinating JTG! Am I to understand that this little video is a commercial for a wristwatch?!! What a production! I don't think the jacket is an A-2 though - perhaps a B3. The aircraft too are strange - obviously not WWII or 'Flying Tigers' - I believe they are Chinese CJ-6 'Nanchang'...

    Some WWII mannequins

    Great display but they look very feminine, as if in a fashion show. I suppose that doesn't matter for display purposes but the presentation would be more realistic if they each had a theatrical make-over. JMHO, as the kids say! -dixon cannon
