Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?
My Dad took me to see 'The Longest Day' when it first came out around Christmas of '62. I wasn't eight years old yet. I loved that movie and I developed an interest in WWII. The fact that it was semi-fictionalized didn't lessen it's impact and catalytic effect on future historical study and...- Dixon Cannon

Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?
Funny! I LOVED 'Dark Blue World' and felt it was right on par with 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Memphis Belle'. I own all three on DVD! -dixon cannon- Dixon Cannon

Tales Of The Gold Monkey - DVD
I have to laugh! Everybody is now a mini- Roger Ebert. FL'rs scouring every frame of film in hopes of finding something to condemn. Freeze-framing, counting stiches, squinting to discover all that is "wrong" so as to sound erudite, discriminating and cultured in their exacting criticism...- Dixon Cannon

Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?
Come on Spitfire! Your a rational guy; we'd have to eliminate most of the movies ever made (and the novels that most are based on!) with that criteria. It's the difference between 'Fiction' and 'Non-Fiction', novels and testbooks. Not everything written is fact or fact based - most rational...- Dixon Cannon

Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?
Don't be rediculous. It is a MOVIE - it's not a documentary - we all know the news story about Pearl Harbor. This film is story woven around the historic event of Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid, enjoy it for what it is; it's like reading a novel. I really chuckle to hear some of the...- Dixon Cannon

The beginning to wearing a hat of style
Hi Persimmon, Welcome! I think the best place to start is eBay - that's what I did - and I have several great hats that I wear regularly now. Make sure you have your exact head measurements and the the hats you look at are properly sized. Have someone measure your head in inches around the...- Dixon Cannon

Does anyone own an "Indy" straw from Peters Brothers?
My 'Indy Straw' is by Stetson. All I know is when I placed my order with Peters Brothers a couple of years ago, not only did they not communicate, they didn't deliver. I wouldn't touch 'em! I think their involvement with cowboy events in Fort Worth take priority. -dixon cannon- Dixon Cannon

"The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?
Well I've learned a couple of things along with the premiere of 'The Pacific'. First, in the debut episode, I noticed most of the leathernecks were using M1 Garands and Carbines. A few Thompson's rounded out the squad along with the .30 cal water cooled machine gun. What I didn't see were...- Dixon Cannon

My greatest flying experience
'High Flight' Ok Dhermann1, That's a great idea! When I was about 16 years old, having a student license and flying solo, I took the Cessna 150 up to the top of it's service ceiling (about 12,000'). It took quite a while to climb up there. Once at altitude, I pulled the carb heat and the...- Dixon Cannon

afraid to fly?
Remember, you cannot compare commercial/airline flights with actual, private flying - the two are as different as day and night these days. I've spent 35 years in the airline industry and I absolutely detest the cattle call process of security/boarding/seating on commercial airline flights...- Dixon Cannon
