FS: ATF Tanker Jacket
As fall comes rolling around what better to keep warm than in a nice tanker jacket, right? ;) I've got for sale an ATF Tanker Jacket that I got about a year ago. It's a size large (Chest 41-44, sleeve length 35", back length 26" per the ATF website). Worn to several events, and around town...- DannyBoy

US Marines and USMC reenactors?
"Yankee Samurai" by Joseph Harrington is probably the most widely available book on the topic. It's all over the place, and you can probably find a copy online for no more than a couple dollars. "Rising Sons" by Bill Yenne is a more recently published book that also covers some of the work of... -
Help with an M-41 FIELD JACKET
I've owned a WPG M-41 before. Pretty good jacket, I'd recommend it. I've also heard some pretty darn good things about the current run of ATF jackets. Apparently the material and color are very good. There are minor issues that some have found ie. cuff stitching differs from originals, some of... -
US Marines and USMC reenactors?
Cool deal, I'll shoot him an email after the New Year. I know the Navy had it's own Japanese/Oriental Language School based out of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and sent many of its graduates to Allied Translator and Interpreter Service in Brisbane, Australia. I would assume that some... -
US Marines and USMC reenactors?
Josh - Do you know if Rob's still making Hawleys? I know he stopped production on his C-Rations until next year, but do you know if he's taking a break from everything or still working on the liners? I think it might be time to pick up one, if my wallet survives the holidays. As for USMC... -

Abercrombie & Fitch Tents
Similarly, a while back I saw a WWII officer's coat tailored by them, but have never seen any equipment with them as the maker, not to say though that they didn't. It seems highly plausible that considering how large of an outdoors company they were back then that the military may have made... -
Californians Please check in!
Welcome to sunny California! I think there's quite a few swing events that go on in Santa Cruz. Haven't been down to check any of them out myself, but you might want to look around.- DannyBoy

Coat of Arms or Family Crests
LaMedicine - How difficult would it be to search for a certain mon for a family in Japan? My grandmother's side of the family has no record of what our mon was since my great-grandparent's died, and we probably lost contact with any relatives there back in the 50's. I've been officially tasked...- DannyBoy

401 Bomb Group "Year Book"
WOAH! Those are wicked cool. Thanks for sharing! Any possibility of getting those pages scanned so they come out a little more high-res? -

On yer bike!
Try Faber's Cyclery 702 S. 1st St., San Jose, CA 95113. That's where I got a bunch of stuff to fix my bike up. It's one of those best kept San Jose secrets. It's an amazing bike shop built into an old saloon right under 280. The yard is stacked high with vintage bikes, and the inside is a...- DannyBoy

EXchange names for phone numbers
Haha this is so cool! Thanks for bumping the thread scotrace. It's one of those things I've always heard in old movies and stuff, but never really thought about until now. Luckily both the houses that I've lived in were built in the late 50's/early 60's so I was able to find the exchange names...- DannyBoy

RIP Darrell "Shifty" Powers
I got to meet Shifty, Earl McClung, and Mo Alley, a couple years back at the Memorial Day Parade in D.C. Shifty was the nicest guy! I asked them to autograph an EM pass that I'd printed off the web, and after Shifty signed it Earl turned to him and said, "say Shifty you just signed him off for a... -
A great way to spend D-Day
Man, I've been trying to make it up there for either JTD or the Bulge game for the last couple of years now. The weekends have always fallen on a date that I'd had a previous commitment though :( . One of these days I'll make it out. I like idea of combining airsoft and blank fire, you kind of... -
U-Boat Crewman Impressions
Prien - Don't know if you've seen this before, and these guys might be a bit far from where you are, but they do a U-505 impression, and are trying to get set up to do events with the actual U-505 at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. http://u505mannschaft.9f.com/ -

The Pacific
Haha thanks. It's really not too bad, there's still original stuff (although it costs an arm and a leg), and reproduction stuff out there, so its certainly do-able. I really need to update that website though:o ...I'm supposed to be the webmaster - oh well another summer project. Now a fellow... -
Historic Movie Palaces
Wow, I never knew that David Packard had owned the Stanford. Kind of ironic, one of Silicon Valley's most famous technological innovators owned a 1925 movie theater, I guess high-tech and the past can coexist! I love going to the Stanford, and it's great since it's only about 15 minutes away...- DannyBoy

Air Show photos some of you might like...
Ha, I really like the impromptu office you've got set up in the back of your jeep :eusa_clap ! Nothin' beats a beautiful pine desk filled with food courtesy of the Heinz Co. eh? Is that a Corona Zephyr you've got? -
Women Reenactors?
Amy's awesome and is always on the lookout for more help with the 10th, just tell her Danny sent you. The 45th gals are a great bunch too, just join up with both and you're pretty much set for all the events in California. Old Fort MacArthur Days is a great event, there's people doing... -
