I'm sure you meant William Powell not Dick Powell ( Richard Diamond /Phillip Marlowe ) . But yes , The Thin Man Movies are my favorite series of movies. Myrna Loy has always been my favorite actress ( I just got her autograph for Christmas ) and William Powell and Myrna Loy make the perfect on...

I saw this for sale on Ebay. There is something very wrong.I would think if you were going to make a WWII collectable you would know your history. Anyone see it?

This is the majority of mine.

Fifi came to Jacksonville last year and they are big compared to the 17s. We went in it but I just couldn't get myself to spend the $1000 to fly in it.

I have several brochures from hotels in the 1940s that advertise air conditioning. And I know trains had it fairly early and preceding air conditioning trains used air forced over blocks of ice stored under the train.

I say go for it. It's hard to live in the past like a lot of us do without people thinking your funny but who cares.

Well said

I'll be seeing you (1944) Great movie.My 17 year old daughter even liked it.

You can buy some on Ebay on CD which be easy I hate to recommend XM right now because they pulled my 40s music off but channel 82 has all old radio shows. If you want mystery and Sci Fi try Mystery is my Hobby, Box 13 , The Whistler, Escape, Suspense, and Sci FI try X Minus One, Lights Out and...

We are still going over on SiriusXm's Facebook page. Yesterday Bette Midler tweeted that she was upset by Siriusxm ta kino 40s on 4 off.

If its a wartime party you need to think more of what you can't have than what you can ( rationing ). But I would stick to old brands like Jello and Chase& Sanborn to name a few. I also think the music is key and if its on a 78 even better. This is a great idea for a party . Wish I was there.

I just checked Facebook and every comment on every post on Siriusxm's page is about bringing 40s on 4 back.

I just cancelled one of my subscriptions and was told they are getting a lot of cancellations. Keep it up.

I hope you are right as I'd like to go back.

The Commemorative Air Force came to Jacksonville today and while I didn't get to fly on the B 29 , I did fly on the C 45 and what an experience. I drove my 41 to Cecil Field ( a decommissioned Navy base dating back to the 40s) and flew on a 40s airplane , it doesn't get any better than that.
