Thanks.
I was surprised to see a reference to 'The Second World War' as early as it was written in the September 18 1939 issue.  major_setback/restranger  Click on the signature picture to see the full size image. Flying online as setback |

Thanks for posting! Great info (although a bit hard to read) & some nice pics too.
 "The pilot managed to crashland it successfully and we refrained from shooting up the survivors. The word must have got around, as the next day I was shot down and had to bale out. While I was lying in the sand with a busted shoulder, the Bf 109 pilot who did me made a run over me but held his fire." Flg Off R.F. Martin, No 73 Sqn |

My family used to have all of the issues from probably the late 30's to the late 50's. (I think my parents stopped subscribing because we got a TV around that time.) We used to read all of the WWII issues, and the one story that I remember reading about was the issue that reported about the Japanese Zero that was found tipped over in Alaska. When I used to read these magazines, it seemed like I was transported back to the times that the magazines were currently reporting about. We also subscribed to 'National Geographic', and I somehow managed to keep a number of them from the late 30's - 60's.
Thanks for the link!  |

Yeah - I was trying to figure out a 'zoom in' or 'enlarge' trick, but gave up and concentrated on the pics. Glad you chaps like it. "I was working on this skin for a week, and you post a picture of a damn turd right in my thread!" |
