tthen Posted March 14 #428 Posted March 14 Salvage Sailor, thank you for posting this. I love the pictures of the Indian troops with what looks like M1 and M1928 (Cutts Compensators) Thompsons.

Museum Director Col. Keith Gibson discussed firearms, handguns, tanks, and alumni who served. Thanks @vmihistory for the visit!" VMI cadets in the VMI Museum . . . I see one wearing a cadet officers buckle an another wearing a first class private's buckle. Gibson, a near contemporary, a three years behind of yours truly was class of 1977.
Bluehawk Posted March 20 #431 Posted March 20 In December of 1935, TWA's first class of 22 hostesses graduated from the airline's training school in Kansas City, Missouri. The requirements for these female hostesses were extremely specific. For example, a woman had to be young (between 21 and 26 years old), small (between 5 feet and 5 feet 4 inches tall) and weigh no more than 118 pounds, single, and white. Original hostesses were also required to be registered nurses to help bolster public confidence in air travel. Pictured is the Hostess Corps in their summer whites passing inspection in front of the Boeing Stratoliner in 1940.

patches Posted April 18 Author #435 Posted April 18 Came across this cool photo, a publicity portrait of Charlton Heston as Colonel George Taylor in the 1968 Planet of the Apes, it is done in the manner one sees with many real life later 1980s NASA portraits, the ones without Astronaut in outer space gear.

patches Posted April 29 Author #439 Posted April 29 Was curious if official like portraits were made of the other members of the crew of LIBERTY 1 in Plant of Apes. And there was see. Lieutenant Maryann Stewart, as a Lieutenant we gather she was Navy, Stewart of course dies in suspended amination during that whopping 2000 years into the future voyage, some sort of a malfunction with her sleeping bed or whatever its called.
