    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello all, I am new around here. I've been a fan of all things "vintage" since I was a kid. I am a former detective. My police career came to a close following a back injury. I now teach history at a local community college. When I was a detective I think I was the only one in my area who...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I am watching Gangster Squad at the moment. Three piece suits, fedoras, shootouts, and a redhead (Emma Stone). What's not to like!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm finishing up the last season of Friday Night Lights. I watched all the other seasons and never got the chance to finish it. Good series, but then again, I'm from Texas so I might be biased.

    Wildcat, Best US Navy Fighter WWII

    I am partial to the Corsair but only because my grandfather flew them during the War. No other reason than that. Otherwise, I think the Hellcat was a fine aircraft.

    WWI - The war in the air

    Forgive me if it has been mentioned in earlier posts, but has anyone read the RFC Trilogy of novels by Derek Robinson? (War Story, Hornet's Sting, Goshawk Squadron) If you haven't they are excellent. He has a really funny writing style that captures a lot of the back and forth banter between...

    Hand-written letters, e-mails & texts

    I still write the occasional handwritten letter. I don't use "text speak" in text messages either. I always write the complete word out, much to the chagrin of some of those I send messages to. I teach history at a community college and more and more students are using "text speak" in their...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I just added HBO to my cable package so that I can utilize HBOGO through the AppleTV. I started watching Boardwalk Empire yesterday. I am almost finished with Season 1. When it comes to a series, I like to watch it all at once over the course of a weekend or a series of weeknights. I am too...

    Favorite old shows that you grew up watching then exposed your children?

    Dragnet and Emergency. They are before my time but my dad introduced me to them and I did the same with my son. (He'll be 12 on Saturday.)

    Any writers?

    I write. You can see my blog link below, but I also write fiction. My current project is set in 2008, which is hardly vintage. When I finish, I am torn between a Civil War novel (which I have already plotted) and one set during World War 2 (which I have a vague notion of what it will be...

    Most attractive 30's - 40's movie star (dolls for the guys, guys for the dolls)

    I know I'm chiming in kind of late here, but Maureen O'Hara is the most beautiful woman who has ever lived! (Other than my wife, of course, who is also a redhead!)

    Mystery/ sic-fi radio shows online?

    I have an AppleTV. They have a ton of radio stations that you can listen to. There are a couple dedicated to old fashioned radio programs. One is more general in nature. Two of them are mystery/detective. I'm not sure if they have a separate one for SciFi but I would assume that they do. I...

    Post-war Germany and the Werwolves

    If any of you like alternate histories, Harry Turtledove has a book called "The Man With the Iron Heart". The novel is about what would have happened had a Werewolf like organization been larger and more organized and effective. That said, it isn't the greatest book in the world. He gets very...

    Patton

    My grandmother's brother served under General Patton during the war and was killed in action. She mentioned that to me one day when I was about 9 years old. I was watching the movie on the VCR at her house. I never knew about her brother before that. It opened up a nice bit of dialogue...
