    Aero LHB in the house!

    Hey guys, been a while, other hobbies have taken precedence lately. My Aero LHB arrived back on June 29th and I've finally gotten around to taking a few pics.

    Old movie review - "Air Force"

    I watched this movie yesterday evening. I'd never heard of it until I ran across it on NetFlix. It came out in 1943 and had lots of vintage aircraft footage of early WWII US airplanes. When is the last time you saw a "shark tail" B-17 or a P-39? They are abundant in this picture. Also, the...

    Book review: Serenade to the Big Bird

    by Bert Stiles. I've only recently heard of this book and felt compelled to read it, so after a brief search I found a copy. I received it Monday and finished it last night. Its a glimpse into the mind of a young B-17 bomber co-pilot in WWII trying to justify to himself that dropping thousands...

    What should I look for when buying an Overcoat?

    The thread concerning the Road to Perdition overcoat got me wondering what to look for when searching for a vintage overcoat. I've been thinking of getting an overcoat on and off for years and going vintage should net me a better quality coat at a hopefully cheaper price than a new one. When...
