    Ice Pilots

    Any one else watching Ice Pilots on National Geographic Channel? It's about Buffalo Airways, a Canadian cargo operation who operate Douglas DC3s, DC4s and Curtiss C-46 Commandos. Love the old round engines! I can almost smell the 60 weight oil burning.

    Motorcycle Officers

    I was sitting in one of our down town sub shops the other day, when two, what I thought were security guards walked in. They were dressed in, baggy paramilitary pants, combat boots, and cloth jackets. I then realized they had the patch of our local police department, they were motorcycle police...

    U-505 Captured On The Great Lakes

    Not really! I found this great sight with a lot of fun U Boat myths, amazing what people will believe. On a side note, I new a lady that lived in northern California during the war, she 100% believed that Japanese American fishermen, were going out in their fishing boats and refueling Japanese...

    Three Best Movie Vehicles

    I was watching TV tonight and there it was again, the BP propaganda commercial. In it, is a scene over a beautiful ocean, no oil on it, and flying over are two DC3s. Of all the planes BP has, which obviously includes turbo props, since that is what the footage was filmed from, to I am sure...

    Spitfire Low Low Pass

    I had forgotten about this video, it is the all time best Spitfire low laval pass! There is some R ratted language at the end, when the host drops the F bomb multiple times! Under the circumstance, I think he may have been justified, or just plain in shock!

    Normandie-Niemen

    I found these photos of pilots of The Normandie-Niemen in Russia, note the Irvin jackets. I thought if there are any Living History members who are tired of the 8th Air Force and BOB history types, hear is a great alternative, with several Yak 3 fighter planes in the U.S., UK, Europe, and New...

    Perry Sportswear A2

    I thought I might post some photos of my original A2 and some of the memorabilia that came with it. The collection was given to me by the widow of a friend of mine back in the late 90s. There is more, dress pinks and greens, brief case, footlocker and more, no crusher though! As you can see...

    Luftwaffe Condor Jackets

    I thought with all the talk about original Luftwaffe leather jackets, I would post this photo I found of six Sargent pilots of the Condor Legion. No disputing these as the real deal! It seems to be some time during the transition from purely civilian clothes and regulation uniforms! It would be...

    20s Navy Leather Jackets

    I am trying to find photos of late 20s early 30s U.S. Navy Leather aviator jackets. I have found plenty of the WWI long leather jackets from the early 20s and the Navy high pocket version of the A1. There must be some in between jackets. I know that the so called G8 jacket was never a real issue...

    Barbour International

    Well I finally did it, I decided to buy a Barbour International A7! I never got around to buying a Belstaff back in the 70s, now they are fashion wear, and priced as such! I also can't stand all the movie stars that wear Belstaff. So, when I found a new Barbour for $295 with free shipping, I...

    Cold Weather Parka

    It snowed here today so put on my modern Tanker jacket which was cold, it was -6 degrees farenheit. So I remembered I bought a Parka, Extreme Cold Weather Type N-3B Jacket at our local Disabled Veterans Store, I paid $8.00 for it. By the time I scooped my drive and side walk, plus my neighbours...
