Your pics are all there for me too. Although, a little while ago, every post on every thread was interspaced by a picture of Patrick McGoohan - the one which is a members avatar. And I hadn't even made a start on the third bottle.

I don't think experienced fliers were sent overseas .......... but certainly many aircrew went abroad to learn their trade, including to Canada and South Africa. The US bases used were at Sweetwater Texas, Terrell Texas, Ponca City Oklahoma, Miami Oklahoma, Lancaster California, Mesa Arizona and...

In the foreword of 'Gear Up!', Joe Maguire (author's father) writes that "On warmer days I would fly in my A-2 jacket. When it was really cold I wore my B-9 parka. The jacket I probably wore the most and liked the best was my B-10. It was more comfortable and warmer than the A-2."

The majority of POW's were not fervent escapers, and even opposed those who were because of the punitive measures they brought down on themselves and everybody else. Given your uncles height, I doubt he would have been approved by an escape committee as a candidate because I imagine, especially...

It's fabulous work Jon, I really like the panel configuration.

Wow - more of a national archive than a collection!

He's joking! :)

I can see in advance how this might offend you, but please accept that it isn't my intention to do so. If you need to make sales, here and on other sites or ebay, you are more or less crippling yourself by not embracing the technology at your fingertips. You have to bite the bullet and invest in...
