So how long before Poland, Germany, and other Nato countries decide to add nuclear arms to their arsenals?

Watched the first episode last night, it's not Band of Brothers, but then it can't be, the stories are very different, ground action requires little CGI, air action requires a lot, too, the living Veterans in Band Of Brothers lent a very real element to the series, sadly most of the WWII Vets...

The long awaited series began last night, the preflight and engine start sequences gave me goosebumps, the battle damaged Forts and combat segments were chilling.. Comparing to Band of Brothers, which is unfair, ground action can be recreated with little CGI, air action requires much CGI, the...

I hope I'm wrong, but noting the trend in the Entertainment Industry that tends to be over the top, and create spectacles rather than quality, and from the trailers seen so far, I'm not expecting another Band of Brothers or Pacific, especially since it's an Apple TV production. Will I watch it...

Hello and thanks for taking time to read this. Does anyone know how and when the UK productions of the these movies will be released in the U.S.? DVD, Streaming? Thank you!

What a gifted individual, and what a fascinating Life he lead!

Today, March 22nd, some good movies on TCM today, Air Force, Thirty Seconds over Tokyo, the scene in Air Force when FDR is speaking to Congress, the scene when the B-17 throttles up to make it's emergency take off, but the montage of Allied aircraft responding to the call to attack the Japanese...

Yes, I was impressed by the CGI in the movie, the planes looked realistic, and none of the Hollywood over the topness in the film, aka "Pearl Harbor". Another recently streamed film, " The Forgotten War" is also good, in both cases, the movies are more low key with good attention to detail than...

That sounds right, I had not seen the post on "New Mosquito Movie", there is more about the events surrounding the bombing in the movie than scenes involving Mosquito's, though the scenes with engine start, taxing, and low level flying are good.

If you are a fan of the Mosquito, the new movie on streaming TV, of the tragic story of the bombing of the mission to bomb the Shell building in WW2 that lead to the accidental bombing of a children's school, features a mix of good CGI and real Mosquito's, and the dangers of low altitude high...

Interesting reading your post, the movie Judgment at Nuremburg was on the other night, a fine film, the line from Burt Lancaster, echoed with me, while the context is different, the words still apply, "...Are we going to do this again?"

If you've not seen The Dambusters on Blu-Ray, you might check it out, as many times as I've seen the movie in the past, I enjoyed the sharper visuals, and audio improvements, those Rolls-Royce engines...

Hello and thank you for your reply. Agreed on Bodoni, I went with Basic Block Bold for the seat bottom wording, CraftCuts did the adhesive stencils, now I need to decide what media/method I want to use, a non water solvent black ink using a brayer, or black paint suitable for use on vinyl. Any...

Thanks for your reply, I have an N-3C gunsight body, but don't have the sight hood that holds the glass. I'm a machinist toolmaker, and have the dimensions for the sight reflector hood, but the details for the glass are omitted from the drawing I found. I do know the drawing numbers that were on...

Hello and thanks for taking time to read this. Does anyone know the dimensions of the reflector glass for the N-3C gunsight? I would also be interested in new old stock, or accurate reproduction glass, or, as the title says, dimensions so I can make my own. Thank you!
