    WWII Jeep in a Crate? Apocryphal? True?

    No, this one is 1/48th scale - about seven inches long - plastic and metal. I cannot remember who the manufacturer is - the box is packed away in a warehouse - there is no manufacturers data on the car itself. Sorry, bou' dat! -dixon cannon

    Kodachrome Curtains

    The Man With the Golden Arm

    I saw that movie decades ago and was told that it was a reference to Gene Krupa. But you know what I learned in the ensuing years? Gene Krupa was drug and alcohol free and was an ardent anti-drug advocate! So don't always believe what ya hear! Question is, did Frankie really plays those...

    WWII Jeep in a Crate? Apocryphal? True?

    A little 'Jeep' trivia... http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9741919888/m/33719347101?r=33719347101 There are a lot of reasons a jeep would have its windshield down - but not all of them were necessarily sound. - In airborne units, windshields often shattered when the jeep...

    WWII Jeep in a Crate? Apocryphal? True?

    I remember when I was a kid, you could still order these crated Jeeps from the back of comic books! I often wonder if there are a few, still crated, in some garage somewhere. What a find that would be! -dixon cannon

    PBS American Experience - The Bombing of Germany

    I watched this and I have a discrepancy I'd like to bring to light. In the final segments of the program, the narrator seems to indicate that the first daylight raids on Berlin were on 03 February, 1944. My understanding is that the first 8th USAAF raid was actually on 06 March, 1944...

    Golden Era Aircraft

    That DC-4E was completely unique in it's design. It was created at the suggestion of the major airlines of the day. After a year of shake-down under the United livery, it was decided it was just too complicated to operate and the airlines pulled out. Douglas scrapped design completely and...

    Golden Era Aircraft

    Thank you! I love that old bird. I'm working on reproducing one of those old balsa model kits as we speak. Using the original plans with new wood. It's quite a project for someone who's used to plastic! -dixon cannon
