if you could travel back in time to the late 30's, would you go?
i say late 30's as it would give you time to enlist and get trained up for war.
i most certainly would, it was a better time back then, and i already have about 10 hours in a stearman, 5.5 in a Texan, and a tailwheel endorsement... i'd smoke the flying and oral sections of any pilot test they could throw at me!
question is, do i learn german and fly for the luftwaffe, go to the eagle squadron and fly for the limeyes, or sweat it out until the yanks enter the war... and then navy or air corps?
I think i'd stick it out with the yanks, however between navy and air corps, i guess i would take whichever one would take me....
what would you do?
-
Buy stock in Lockheed. :D
-
30's No 60's YES !
-
Fly for the Russians, drink Vodka, make love to homely women named Olga and die young :rock
-
buy lots of property's in Mayfair and parklane

I don't know about going back to the 30's. My values do seem out of place with what people consider important these days- and I'm only 37. I could easily adapt to late 40's I think. I work, I help take care of my family, farmland, etc.. Everything is paid for! I'm not in debt- old values.

I'd go back to late 40's, early 50's after the war. Seems like a great time to be an American. Also wouldn't mind checking out the Roman Empire, the American Revolution and the Old West.
-
I think its a nice fantasy, but if you were raised from 1970 onward, I think you'd be a fish out of water. The cultural attitudes have taken such a radical shift since then that it would be bewildering.
Most folks in any country, were frankly and openly racist, and it wasn't even looked upon as something unusual. What we today call hate crimes were relatively commonplace. The concepts of what constituted masculinity or femininity and acceptable behavior by our current contexts were very rigid. For anyone who was alive in the 60s, this attitudes were exactly what the revolution of the 60s was against.
Then as now, when you live in an era, you can't pick and choose the good parts. You get it all, just the way it is, without the patina of nostalgia.

Most definitely, take all my knowledge of range ecology with me and put it into good uses.

I think I'd like to make myself look like a prophet considering I'd know most of those things yet to come. Then I'd demand tribute because it appeases those who give me the visions to see thier earth incarnate happy. It would be a happy time... for me anyway. :t

Pre knowledge of what happened in ww2 could be very very frustrating if you intend to fight in it.
When you went back with your stearman experience and were ordered to go to fly P40s at Clark Field in Oct 1941. It would be interesting to me what you would do.
You know you don't get to choose right?
But my answer is that throwing my name in the hat and volunteering in ww2, knowing how it went, I am probably not man enough. I know the world was saved without me dying, getting imprisoned by the Japanese for 4 years or having my face burned away. I am old enough to know I am not immortal.

One word for the 30s.... NO
It was one of the most difficult times for humanity in the last 100 years. Could you imagine +33% unemployment? What do you think enabled people like Hitler to come to power, peoples overwhelming feeling of despair and hopelessness. Hitler gave them that... promised a great civilization that would last 1000 years, etc... all BS of course, but look what they got instead... hatred and eventual ruin... no thank you...
I'm glad I live in 2010, I'm able to peacefully live and support myself and have enough free time to play this game.

Without Hitler the world would be a very different place. Millions of peoples lives would have been spared and technology would be IMO decades off from what it is now if WWII never happened.
I wouldn't change anything so I wouldn't mess with any times lines, but I would seek out my grandfather and meet him since I never got the chance to.

if you could travel back in time to the late 30's, would you go?
what would you do?
Bet on every single sporting event from the year I traveled backed to, to the present. I'd also patent a lot of stuff from the future and invest in a lot of emergening technologies that in the future would be huge.

Stop Hitler's madness before it happened.
Interesting premise, Spike.
Would you (rhetorically, non-specifically speaking)? Could you? Imagine it is 1937 and you are obviously the ONLY PERSON in the world who knows what is going to happen - the conquests, the death camps, the whole works. Would you be willing to go in and toss an anti-tank grenade into Hitler's car like was done to Heydrich, perhaps at a parade.....knowing you most likely would be immediately gunned down and never recognized for (hopefully) saving the world from what was to come?
Are we individually that strong to perform such an act?
Pondering.....

It's easy to romanticize the past with the benefit of the knowledge we have now about it. Having had WW2 history as a passion since I was in grade school, I've spent 40+ years 'living' in that past at times.
One of the things that bothers me sometimes is that we've almost trivialized those folks with calling them the 'greatest generation'. They were just like you and I and they rose to the occasion when they needed to. To make them more then that to me minimizes their sacrifice. I do believe my generation or my kids generation are just as capable. Clearly there are folks out there doing that right now.
I've spent many years researching the lives of aircrew who didn't survive. They weren't cartoon pilots. The reality of war quickly killed any notion of white scarves, medals and fancy uniforms. Surviving and getting home were all that mattered. None wished for their siblings or children to ever have to go to war.
My latest project is an American who flew Beaufighters with the RCAF. Enlisted before WW2. I have a photo of him with the white scarf. Two years of training and he finally made it to combat which is where he wanted to be. He lasted less then a month and he and his navigator along with their Beau have never been found.
Would I like to go back and have a look? Sure. Stepping into that history to see it for real would be amazing. Would I want to go back and fight that war? Not a chance. Old CorkyJr is invincible in AH. Dan would be anything but back in the 30s and 40s.

Great points Dan. That term does get trivialized. It's hard to express how greatful I feel to those men and women that had to do things and make sacrifices they did. We can only begin to imagine. I'm a bit more jaded about my generation and those that followed. I remember friends who spit on soldiers. I know a man who lost his son in Vietnam and got phone calls from people saying they were glad his son died at the hands of the North Vietnamese. Many of those people today have grandkids and drive around with a "Support Our Troops" stickers on their can bumper.
Sorry, needed to vent :(

We hear so much bad stuff going on that we lose perspective, but truth is that there has never been a better time to be alive than right now. World poverty and war related deaths are both demonstrably lower than they have been in recorded history.
The 1930s were "The Dark Valley" (title of a great book on the subject). With hindsight being 20/20 we have a very hard time understanding this, but in reality it was NOT clear that freedom oriented democracy was going to be successful, or even survive. Countries set up with free market orientation and emphasis on personal liberty were doing very poorly in the 30s, with economic stagnation, enormous unemployment, and political instability. Meanwhile, Communism's press releases were generally taken at face value - and there was objectively enormous economic growth in the Soviet Union in the 30s, as they shifted from 19th century agrarian economy towards 20th century industrial one. The Fascist dictatorships provided order, stability, and economic growth that the democracies were hard pressed to match.
If you believed in the rule of law and personal liberty, the 1930s were truly frightening times. More than a few intelligent people honestly believed that the future of democracy was bleak. Seeing what happened from 1939 - 1941 would only make freedom's future look even darker...because people who lived through the times didn't know what would happen at Stalingrad, Leningrad, Midway, Guadalcanal, Kokoda, and the North Atlantic.

if you could travel back in time to the late 30's, would you go?
i say late 30's as it would give you time to enlist and get trained up for war.
i most certainly would, it was a better time back then, and i already have about 10 hours in a stearman, 5.5 in a Texan, and a tailwheel endorsement... i'd smoke the flying and oral sections of any pilot test they could throw at me!
question is, do i learn german and fly for the luftwaffe, go to the eagle squadron and fly for the limeyes, or sweat it out until the yanks enter the war... and then navy or air corps?
I think i'd stick it out with the yanks, however between navy and air corps, i guess i would take whichever one would take me....
what would you do?
Is this a time travel question or a trading places hypothetical?
Kind of hard to pass up the opportunity to time travel...
As far as trading my 21st century life for one in the 1930s ? No thx.

My mother was born in 1925. I once remember back in the late 90's someone saying don't you wish you could go back to the good old days when you were growing up. My mom said I spent my childhood as 1 of 5 children of a share cropper in Arkansas. During school when cotton harvest time came they were taken out of school to go to Texas and pick cotton for $1 a day. Basically from sunrise to sunset. At this time she was a Data Processing Supervisor with 15 people under her and also did programing. Her end answer was not on your life. She said she would never give up her life growing up because it always reminded her how fortunate and blessed she is now.
As for our children today I can say I have no doubts about their commitment to our nation. After 22 years in the Army training our young men, and what I have see of them in todays wars they are not only committed they are great in the same ways our fathers and Grandfathers were. God Bless the United States and the young people who severe her. To those who have given the greatest sacrifice.

I would have got off my duff France.... and England,and stopped Hitler the first time he made the move into an area he didn't belong in.Germany wasn't ready for war at that time and Hitler rolled the dice and won!That just gave Hitler the knowledge he needed on how prepared France and the Brits were to stop him on his conquest.Austria,and the Czech's were next w/o only a note from Hitler to Chamberlain that he would be good from now on!Churchill tried to warn the Lethargic ones,but along comes Sept. 39,and away we go.Mean while the Japanese are raping Manchuria and China,and the U.S.A. had a plan from the early 1900's,called Orange or something like that to be ready for any Japanese plans to set up an Asian Empire.Along comes Dec. 7th,1941 and Pearl Harbor gets completely surprised,even though FDR probably knew it was coming,and it's a given that the Brits were aware it was coming,but didn't warn us,because they wanted us in the fray!Six years later,and two A bombs,and it's over.Millions died,and I believe it could have been stopped,if action was taken in the early 30's to stop Hitler.

I would venture that our democracy only exists now due to World War 2. Without the strife and destruction that occurred in Europe, Asia and the Pacific, the United States would never have risen to a prominent position in the 20th century.
If WW2 doesn't happen, the US never has a chance to develop nearly as fast, and would have been constrained by other nation's geopolitical interests.

:lol No sir, I wouldn't either....... It's a movie from 1980 regarding this very subject.
The 80's band from Europe?? I wouldn't want to go back and see that... lol
"The USS Nimitz, a modern-day nuclear aircraft carrier, is drawn through a time warp from 1980 to a couple days before the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor, and the crew must decide whether to launch a preemptive strike against the incoming Japanese carrier fleet with their more advanced air wing, or allow history to take its course, which might not happen since they had rescued Senator Chapman, who disappeared shortly before the attack, from his death."

While we're on the subject of the final countdown, John Birmingham has written an excellent series called the Axis of Time, on what would likely happen if modern folks were to be transported back to WWII. Interestingly enough, they screwed things up royally. Lemme get the link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Choice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Choice)
That's the first book, he wrote 3 in that series. VERY good reads for anyone interested in WWII, which I'm guessing most of us are, alternate history, physics, super-high tech weapons, and the odd feelings associated with modern folks thrust back into a bygone, (and not so pretty) age.
