    Unaltered 1920s Aussie Californian Bungalow

    A shame that it has to go for modernization. Too bad it can't be moved.

    Breaking in Leather A-2

    Although the wet treatment might seem a bit harsh, it should do the trick. Apparently your jacket is made of tough hide to still look new after 4 years.

    Classic vintage CANVAS TENTS

    As a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's all we had were canvas tents. Any romanticizing about those heavy, mildew collecting shelters is quiclky overcome when unfolding a modern nylon tent and poping it up in its frame in less than ten minutes.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    My grandfather was a barber. I remember him using a very sharp razor around my ears as a boy. The sound of the blade hitting the strap also lingers in my memory.

    Wehrmacht Collection

    A Blue Max repro was the best I could do many years ago, but friends who see it don't seem to mind that it is not the real thing. At least they get an idea of what the decoration looks like.

    WWII attitudes to conscription and going into the service

    During a national energency having a draft is only logical. Of the WW2 vets from my father's generation whom I knew, some had volunteered, but most were drafted. My uncle joined up right after Pearl Harbor and he had no feeling of superiority over most draftees.

    Proppa British Brew-up

    One of my favorite BBC series was "Upstairs, Downstairs." Mrs. Bridges would always offer someone a "Nice cup of tea" when the occasion called for it. That's when I began to appreciate the British custom.

    Cirrus A2: What are your opinions?

    Maybe the A-2 is just the first of your accurate WW2 flight jacket collection. No need to limit your amount of fine historical leather.
