    Question on Sunglasses

    Captain Vidal... -Captain Vidal I have a pair similar to these. They're not unlike what Nicolas Cage wore in 'National Treasure'. Not quite round in the 'Lennon specs' sense, but a very vintage look. I love mine. -Nick -Me -dixon cannon

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    I Stand Corrected! Indeed it is. I was acting on the assumption that the 'tail dragger' was a DC-3 not even considering that the B-307 was also conventional gear. The 377 'Stratocruiser' is the tri-cycle gear aircraft. Geesh, why didn't they just call that hat 'airplane' and avoid all this...

    And, oddly enough, that's the Douglas DC-3 airplane in that ad - not a Boeing 307 'Stratoliner'! I can see why it is so confusing; 'Stratoliner' hat - Douglas airplane. Hmmm.. -Dixon Cannon

    Of Pins and pin____s.... My hat pin which I wear on a Borsalino is indeed the Boeing 307 'Stratoliner'. The Boeing 377 was a larger tricycle gear known as the 'Stratocruiser'. The two engine, conventional gear airplane pin is in fact the Douglas DC-3. The Douglas DC-6 is the expanded...

    A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge

    I obtained my Private ticket in 1973 and there was no training in celestial navigation (shooting the stars) at that time. I have spoken with a B-52 crewman from that era who told me he did recieve celestial navigation as part of his training but even then it was an anachronism. In today's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    CLOVERFIELD Wow! I hadn't seen this one at the theatres so just picked it up on a whim as a rental. The first ten minutes or so I just didn't get it - in fact I thought that it may be the wrong DVD in the 'Cloverfield' box. I fast forwarded to see where this was going to go and saw some...

    Black & White 35mm Film question

    First question is: Is the film exposed? That is, has it been run through a camera and shot? Second question is: How long ago? Third: What film brand and ISO? The point being that b/w film is a silver halide chemical that reacts to light to form the latent image. The latent image...

    Question about the late 1960s-mid 1970s

    This is a good one for me! My Dad was born in 1901 and my Mom in 1912. I've got a brother born in 1932 and a sister born in 1934! The answer is NO! My Dad wore a crew cut til the day he died. My Mom loves polyester. My brother was spit and polish Army and my Sister was a suburban Mom...

    John Shakespeare, heir to the Shakespeare fishing tackle fortune kept a similar garage/barn filled with exotic cars including Bugatti's down in West Palm Beach, FL years ago. The Bugatti Type 41 is one of the most expensive and sought after vintage cars. Shakespeare kept his rare collection...
