    Into the Archives

    It's pretty much the same on all site. There's just too much past with the same key phrases. I pretty much am not too interested in digging up dead threads because often the people who discussed the topic a year ago aren't around and it seems as though I'd rather have a new take on the...

    Clint Eastwood's RED SUN, BLACK SAND

    I wanted to point out again that there was a lot more to it than minor prisoner abuse. We've gone over much of this before and it usually gets thwarted. The truly sad part is that while Germany and the Germman people came to terms with thier responsibilities of history, after all this time...

    P-38s in ETO

    The P-38 used Allisons, not Merlins. The turbosupercharger used was problematic in the cold climate as well.[huh]

    R I P Franz Stigler

    I interviewed Fritz way back in the early 80s and he told me the story of the Palm Sunday Massacre where 8 Bf 109s were escorting about 100 transports across the Med to North Africa. I was just retelling this a week ago. Aw sh1t!!!

    P-38s in ETO

    The real reason that the P-38 was not as successful in the ETO as in the Pacific is due to one thing only. They were not well designed for cold, damp weather. That is the whole thing. The operational altitudes required on a regular basis over the Continent were not at all in the P-38's...

    Clint Eastwood's RED SUN, BLACK SAND

    OK one last time. The Imperial Japanese Army in Asia was involved in the most heinous acts of perversion and brutality to even eclipse the Nazi genocide. The Japanese simply pursued the same genocide against the Chinese with biological and chemical compounds. There were facilities all over...

    Thousand Yard Stare of the Day - April 8, 2008.

    As for Viet Nam all I know is that is you didn't get divorced from the world real fast you got dead. Usually within 4-6 weeks desensitized you so that you didn't really care about what happened to you. All you cared about was making sure your buddies were safe. Anybody that got short and...

    Camera Suggestions needed!

    I got an Olympus FE 230 over a year and a 1/2 ago and have been pleased with it. It was $200 then. 7.1 megapixels, 3 x zoom and the most important "no shaky thing" stabilization. That works for sure. When we were in a horse drawn buggy bouncing all over the streets of Santo Domingo I was just...

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    That's easy- my all time fav The Wild Bunch. The movie shows the strong bonds and comraderie men have amongst one another. Bonds stronger than with women. We have different thing going on there. I have deep friendships with guys I haven't seem for years but if they called and needed my help...

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    As Miss Bella Hell mentioned earlier by us all being gathered here at all might construe snobbery to some gentle souls. Look I visit WW II forums, ancient studies forums, history forums, vintage auto forums, Packard-specific forums and hot rod forums as well. Are they each and all snobs...

    When The Old Days Come A-Knocking

    When I "go back" to St. Louis as a kid the houses and buildings are the same today as then. You can go to Flickr and see that, but the cars a gone. But best of all when I recall some 50s incident I can especially focus on the old cars very vividly. Across the street is Mrs. Shores' black and...
