America In WWII Magazine

[MelissaAnne]

America in WWII

This is a fairly recent magazine - has been released in the last year. It mostly focuses on the people of WWII instead of the military tactics. Has tons of stuff on the American Home Front, stories from soldiers and others involved in the war, and always does a "gallery" of pictures on some subject. The latest issue (August 2006) focused on the German propaganda leaflets.

I wanted to share, just in case fellow Lounger's hadn't heard of it yet.

Had no idea

Thanks for this.

Does it turn up on newstands? Border's perhaps?

 

[MelissaAnne]

I found it into Barnes & Noble and then subscribed.

Picked up the June issue today.

Very neat. Thanks again for the heads up.

They had a table at the WWII Weekend...

... in Reading. They were giving away magazines and I am sure they're going to have hundreds of new subscribers. Off to the salt mines just now, but I will try and do some scans and post them this evening.

I picked up a copy at a local bookstore some time ago. A decent magazine. The issue contained great war time advertising.

I really enjoy the wartime advertising and the personal feel to the magazine. I've never been disappointed with any issue.

 

[Clyde R.]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

I really enjoy it. The last issue had a great article on SPAM (the meat not the e-mail).

Thanks so much for the heads up. I am surprised I missed it at B&N. I am glad to see a magazine that examines the Homefront, as that is my favorite aspect of the war to look at. That comes from my late mother growing up in Elkhart, Indiana and hearing her teenage stories about those years.

Did anyone see the GE ad in the new issue, saying that some day we may be able to make phone calls to passengers on airplanes? What will they think of next?

For me that’s all just a bunch of crazy talk.

 

[MelissaAnne]

I saw that ad, too. I think the ad I've liked the best is the one about the margarine that was white and you had to add a little capsule of yellow food coloring to it.

I also love the gorgeous photo spreads they do. Wonderful images in each issue.

*bump*

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd bump this old one just to let new members know about this magazine. It's still going strong and is still a wonderful read. I subscribe to this and I've also seen it on the newstands at B&N.

Current issue has a great piece e on the war work of the Boy Scouts.

Just got my issue this week. It celebrates the end of World War II with "100 Ways World War II Changed the World." Great article, and great magazine!

You can usually find this at Barnes and Noble or other bookstores.
