Does anyone have a service coat from what price glory? I'm trying to decide if I want to buy one from him or get one of the new ones from at the front. I'd like to see some close up detailed photos of WPGs 4 pocket service coat, if you have one how does it compare to the originals?

Excellent, glad these were saved! There is a friend of mine who obtained from a client of his some years ago a photo album. His clients father was a reconnaisance pilot on D-Day and the album he has is full of photos of the landings from the air, you can see in the photos the landing craft...

I would then take out a large loan and then on April 1st 1976 I would invest that large loan and become a key share holder in Apple with my earnings from the company going back into a retirement...

What you have is a Cairns Sam Houston which is a helmet that has been in production for several decades now. Brand new this helmet sells for around 600 dollars. It appears to be in very good condition (can't see any cracks in it) what's the liner look like? On ebay a used helmet like this...

Soft collar Bill Haley or Frankie Vali?

I saw it as well, I enjoyed it, thought some of the lines were a little hokey tho. I really enjoyed the scenes at the air base, looked very top notch. When I got to the theater there were television crews interviewing people who had watched the showing before mine. Apparently the showing before...
