    When did the smiles begin?

    This topic came up in a conversation today; When you look at old photos, most people are NOT smiling. They seem to stare glumly at the camera as if it's their last photo before their execution. When in history did people actually start SMILING for pictures and putting on the inauthentic...

    Alfred Rosenberg Diary found....

    I don't think that this topic has been posted elsewhere - I did my due diligence and searched for Rosenberg with no results. Nazi Alfred Rosenberg kept a diary from 1936 - 1944 which was lost after the Nuremberg trials. It has resurfaced in Delaware, of all places. Additonal news and details...

    The Original CAF - before it was COMMEMORATIVE!

    Here's an observation for the bar; Back before things got so "PC", the Commemorative Air Force was actually called the CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE. I know that must be very hard to believe!!... to actually use the word "confederate" in an organization title. But.... Col. Jethro E. Culpepper was...

    PhotoBucket's new "improved" site....

    Now that PhotoBucket has ruined what used to be a fantastic place to store images and recall them for posting, can anyone recommend another file sharing site that isn't so complicated? I used to be able to go directly to a given page, locate the image I wanted, obtain the image code and then go...

    Any fans of Jake and Jack out there? ... any 'Gold Monkey' tales?

    On a thread involving 'Crush Caps' elsewhere there's been some discussion of Jake Cutter (from the television program 'Tales Of The Gold Monkey') and his Air Corps (USAAF) crush cap. As you see, my avatar is Jake, so I'm a big fan of the show and of Jake's attire. Anyone else obsess over the...
