In the Memory of Frances Langford

[Hondo]

Some memories of Frances Langford, this site is pretty cool, if you haven't seen, enjoy "The Jungle Air Force of WWII" Lt. Col. Robert B. Westbrook.

Frances Langford what a beauty, like some here born late, wish I could have known her and others Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Veronica Lake just to name a few, rest in peace.

I was sad to hear that she had died--she was so pretty and talented. I saw a special on the USO some time ago, and she seemed like a very nice person as well.

This era of the greats is fast disappearing—such a shame…

The WWII era its soldiers, entertainers are slowly disappearing, how true, sad that we lose so many who gave so much, growing old gracefully is hard to take, some days I dream of having a “time machine� and go back, preserver its era, its stars so they never die, retain their beauty forever.
In real life all we have is tributes, books, films our time machine. I also saw the tapes of USO shows. What an era to have lived and played a part of history.
Frances Langford had a P-38 named after her, if any one has a good clear picture of the P-38 “Florida Thrush�, please share, I love nose arts.
God Bless'em all....

Take a look at this link. It has a small photo of the nose of the P-38 named after her. I tried to copy the url but, it's a protected site :rage: So, just scroll down a little and you'll see the photo. http://www.enter.net/~rocketeer/13thwesty2.html

Cheers.

PS. Here is a photo of Bob and Frances by a Republic P-47.

What an era, enjoy!
