    WWII Aircraft excavated and Fly Again

    Glacier Girl I have been following this story since 1980. I've read or watched all the various expeditions attempt to retrive or even locate the planes. I was at Oshkosh in 1990 when they delivered the pieces right to the airshow via DC-3, as soon as they had pulled them out of the ice. I...

    WWII Flix

    I agree, after the opening, I lost interest in the film. I seemed to wander too much. I was hoping for more of a "Kellys Heroes" type of film. ...Jake

    What war art do you have...?

    Finally found a picture of my favorite WWII artwork. It is called Silver Wings by James Dietz. I have a print of this that has been remarked by the artist. A remark is where the artist will draw or paint an orginal addition on the print to give it a more personal touch. Enjoy...Jake

    Tale of the Missing Peking Man

    I meant that the Chinese loaded the treasures before the Japanese reached them. The ship was supposed to take the artifacts to a safe place for storage, but the ship was lost for unknown reasons. Jake

    How dry is your county?

    Milwaukee, more bars per person than anywhere in the world. At least thats what I've been told. It seems true as I travel out of state and try to find a friendly neighborhood bar. Liquor stores open seven days a week till 9 pm, after that you can get carry outs from the bars.....Jake
