Have you seen 'The Hunters' Stand By?....Nylon porn!!!!!
Have you seen 'The Hunters' Stand By?....Nylon porn!!!!!
I do have a copy !!! Or rather my girlfriend has a copy (I know, eh?!) and put it in a box for goodwill (!!) along with a few other old war movies from her single days that's been sitting downstairs for ages !!!
Marvellous. Will dig it out (with the others) and give that a spin ... Fantastic !
^ What's interesting about that movie is not only the nylon porn, but also that all of the pilots are wearing mixed and matched colours - dark blue overalls with sage jackets, and vice versa. I have no idea how historically accurate that might be, but I suspect it's realistic.
From the period photos I've seen...and from how my father described the USAF in those days...I would say the film is very realistic with respect to how people dressed. The post WWII military wasn't exactly swimming in money...especially the Air Force. People wore what was issued to them until it was unserviceable. Within a period of six years, USAF outerwear had gone from olive, to blue to sage...and still had a healthy dose of older russet and seal mixed in. I'm sure many briefing rooms looked like rummage sales.
AF
A candlelight dinner, followed by a "movie"...how romantic!
Ha!Ha!Ha! You read my mind.
I was going to write "Fantastic ... a nice bath, some wine, some candles .... and a good old war movie!" LOL
The book's that good, eh? Interesting ... will check it out.
