 This one is one of my Carole faves! Nothing like an original color photo to make one feel good! Root.

Great photo, Root
I think the Landis photo archive provides a GREAT resource for the jills who are trying to find a look to match our vintage USAAF outfits. BTW, if you ever need insignia (rank, wings, ribbons, etc.) let me know I have a LOT (especially Lt. Col.) that I am going to start to sell on eBay. Be delighted to let some of my fellow FLers have first crack.

The tragedy, of course, is that Carole Landis committed suicide...over Rex Harrison! To each his (or her) own.
