    Hollywood stars of yester-year

    James Doohan was a captain in the Royal Canadian Artillery, and landed at Juno Beach with the 3rd Canadian Division. Leslie Nielsen was an air gunner in the RCAF. Incidentally, Lorne Greene got his start as a radio correspondent with CBC during the war. Dubbed "The Voice of Doom".

    The Canadian Venga TG-10 Project

    Hmmm. Interesting. I'm actually a bit surprised none have been built, considering how relatively cheap they would be.

    Whatever happened to Sharx66?

    The Person Below Me (TPBM) Pt. II

    The new Ken Burns documentary of WW2

    I liked it as well. I thought it was well done. I wish someone up here would do something similar from the Canadian perspective, for Canadian audiences. It would be even more interesting and accurate if one of the locales was in Québec, to give the full feel of how the war was regarded back...
