Maceo Pinkard
Thank you for the photo, Maceo kin! I will pin it to my Pinterest board! And, yes, I would appreciate any more photos that you can find and I will pin them all up so that it is preserved online for anyone's use and research. This is the only photo I've found online and I'm not sure if it is... -

The Oddity of KRIT Motors
I'll try this again: Is there a possibility that when Hitler and Krohn designed the Nazi flag that one or both consciously borrowed the Krit emblem? They wouldn't use the Thulist swastika since they were breaking away from the Thulists. Did they decide the Krit emblem was distinctive enough...- Futwick

The Oddity of KRIT Motors
In 1920, they made their first big move which was to kick out the Thulists and völkisch adherents from DAP. These were people caught up in the mysticism of Aryanism. Although Hitler was steeped in this mumbo-jumbo called Ariosophy, he was carrying out Eckart’s plan to form an entirely new...- Futwick

The Oddity of KRIT Motors
One of the little known car manufacturers out of Detroit was KRIT or K-R-I-T motors. The main reason was that the company was only in existence for seven years—1909-1916. The company was never able to build up momentum because of the outbreak of World War I which interrupted the company’s...- Futwick

How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?
My earliest encounter with OTR was that old Twilight Zone episode about the bitter old guy who finds his old radio in the basement of a boarding house. Somebody told me that Bob Crane did all the OTR voices on that episode. That was also the first time I'd ever heard of Tommy Dorsey. Now I... -

Typewriters
When I was a little kid, I used an old black typewriter with 1910 on it. It had been in my family for years but I don't know how my parents came to own it. Can't remember the make but it looked a lot this. Those dual black ribbon metallic canisters really ring a bell. That really looks a lot...- Futwick

July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart
TIGHAR reminds me of those expeditions that claim to have found Noah's ark. It's always, "Next year we'll get a much closer look" and then when it's next year they say, "Next year, we'll REALLY get a closer look" and it just keeps going on until you have to conclude they don't have anything...- Futwick

July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart
Here's link to a plane that disappeared over Lake Michigan that should have been easily recoverable but 21 years later it has not been found--not a trace. What are the chances that Earhart's plane could be found reasonably intact after several decades in this enormous ocean? I mean, if they...- Futwick

July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart
They'll likely never find the plane. It could have gone down anywhere. I believe it just ran out of fuel, they attempted a water landing, crashed and sank. But the ocean in that area is so extensive, it could be anywhere plus there wouldn't be much of anything left of it after all these...- Futwick

July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart
I've heard the stories that Earhart was captured by the Japanese but when you really into the story, there's not much there. Every time some one disappears, it is not at all uncommon for people to come forward swearing up and down that they saw that person after their disappearance. Basically...- Futwick

Swing girls
The US has lost its appreciation of jazz--period. But they love it in Japan, Europe, Cuba, South America, etc. China is now taking an avid interest in jazz--I personally know several jazz musicians are either went to or are still in China playing jazz. You're right. I know a couple of...- Futwick

Swing girls
The Japanese have long had ties to South America. There is an enormous population of them in Brazil--the largest outside of Japan. Peru was run by Alberto Fujimori for a long time. Though he has fallen out of favor, his daughter is now popular there. I remember meeting a Japanese girl about...- Futwick
