Influences on my WW2 history obsession from my youth

Combat!  My best friend growing up always got to be the Sarge.  My Dad's helmet had LT bars on it so I was stuck being the LT.


12 O'Clock High.  Mix it with all those Revell 17s and you get the idea


Rat Patrol!  Of course the GI Joe Jeep had a 50 on the back too.  Had to get the GI Joe Aussie to get the right hat for pretend Rat Patrol.  Geez I'm going back in time here!

For the guys talking about this generation of kids.  We weren't exposed to any violence back in my day!

Another favorite.  "The Rifleman" with Chuck Conners.  Most every problem solved with that lever action rifle.  Of course there was a lesson taught each time too and it was always the last resort.  But Lucas shot someone every show

I remember those.  They used to sell the individual Revell 1/72nd kits at the local grocery store for 99 cents.  I seem to recall the Tony was the first I did after a Zero.  The Spitfire was my favorite of those kits.  Break the prop blades off to make it look like it was spinning. Skip landing gear. Fly em all over the back yard until the inevitable crash and fire in mom's garden

LOL that's exactly what I used to do. My older brother always gave me a hard time for not putting the landing gear on them.  

 I would find them at a department store we had in town called Gibsons back in the early 70s. I think I must have had the whole series. I'll never forget when I found the Ki-61 vs P-47 kit. It was the first time I'd seen or heard of the Tony. It was a great day for a small town kid with a huge interest in WWII aviation and very few places to find any info on it.

Shifty, how about this one, remember it? I was fascinated with the Mercury capsule back then.

Hey Rip... That capsule has two astronauts, that makes it a Gemini.

Good, clean, funny. No need for profanity, disgusting scenes, etc...

I miss the good days.

WB cartoons are best that will ever be made, true classics
