Abercrombie & Fitch Tents
I took a friend along to look at the tent last night. We had to lay it out on the front yard by the lamp post since it was after 7:00 PM. It was only OD on the flooring and a light khaki on the rest of it. Looks like it was about 8 ft. X 8 ft. and is a 2-man tent. Thefront flap that can be... -

Abercrombie & Fitch Tents
Thanks for all your input. Fortworthgal, I'm not familiar with the bell style tent you mentioned. She asked me to call her and it appears she's very limited in her time. I'll let you know what happens. Jack -

Abercrombie & Fitch Tents
Thanks for the reply. That's what I read about too. I just haven't found out if they made the tents for the military. I have a WWI flying helmet with their name stamped on the back, so I know they did make other items for the military. Jack -

Abercrombie & Fitch Tents
A local listing is selling a tent for a gentleman in his 90's. He told them it's a pre-WWI safari tent. I don't know what a safari tent is and neither do the people selling it. All they say is that it's in a bag, is OD, has poles, and the bag has Abercrombie & Fitch on it. They apparently... -

Civil Defense Helmet Refinishing
Green Papaya, I have one of those and in Ken Lewis's book, "Doughboy To G.I.", it's shown on page 11. It says it's a helmet for Civilian Workers. So, you're correct. I also contacted Chris Arnold, author of "Steel Pots", and he said the Merchant Marines wore them, as you mentioned. The metal... -

Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes
Chris, I don't remember. He showed it to me real quick at FIG. It has thick spokes and he said the serial numbers underneath the front crank set are similar to those on The Liberator web site. I'll e-mail him tonight to get more info. The final test will be showing it to you. I told him...- JRB

Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes
Chris, I'll be across from you with the Big Red One. One of our members picked up an original WWII military bicycle at a yard sale in NJ. If he brings it, I'll make sure to show it to you. You may have seen it already since he's a regular at Ft. Miles. Jack- JRB

Nice photos, thanks for sharing. I took notice of all the round "mermite" cans in the field kitchen. I don't even see them for sale and I counted 5! Jack -

My new WW2 hobby- making homefront items
That is pricey, I guess (I have no idea of what you're talking about). I scanned the booklet on knitting patterns. Let me know if you want me to send them to you. Where is the German French Cafe at FIG? I know of the one at Reading. Who are you and your husband with? I'm with the Big Red... -

My new WW2 hobby- making homefront items
Leaette, where did you get the yarn? What manufacturer is it? I've been looking for some WWII colored OD wool for some time now. I picked up a booklet on home front knitting patterns. I don't knit and neither does my wife, but I know some people who do. Here's a web site that has knitting... -

The Battle of the Atlantic
I heard about the "higher ups" not listening to the British recommendations regarding the lights out policy. It took them a while for it to sink in. I read stories by the U-boats cruising along the NJ coast close enough to hear the music coming from the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. The... -
