    J.C. Penney Marathon -- Ultra Quality

    I own one myself and just love it! I had to have the lining and sweatband replaced, which was disappointing, but no one sees that when in on my head anyway. I also have my Dad's original 'Marathon' from the '50s'. It is of reduced dimensions - more of a businessman's hat of the era and less...

    Frank Sinatra in 'Von Ryan's Express'

    John, was such a thing issued to pilots in WWII? It had the appearance of 1960's USAF issue to be honest. -dixon cannon

    Frank Sinatra in 'Von Ryan's Express'

    I had the opportunity to catch Sinatra's 'Von Ryan's Express' on late night TV earlier this week. It's actually the first time I've seen it all the way through for start to finish (I think!). The early parts did not seem familiar to me, so I watched intently trying to figure out if I'd seen it...
