An interesting article with Charles Lindbergh handing in his resignation as a Colonel in the reserves in the Army Air Force. I know before the wore he was a big supporter of the Luftwaffe and had actually been invited by Goring. Interesting letter since it has to do with his honor and loyalty to the country and his character. Also, lots of amazing maps. 4/27/4/28/41.4/29/41,4/30/41,5/1/41.5/2/41 & 5/4/4`
5/5/41,5/6/41,5/7/41,5/9/41 & 5/10/41 Interesting information about the construction of the Hudson bomber and the large amount waiting delivery to Britain? What was the Hudson used for in the RAF? Coastal ops?
5/12/41,5/13/41,5/15/41,5/17/41,5/19/41,5/21/41 & 5/24/41 Interesting graph showing American opinion on the war. Multiple photos and small articles on the Rudolf Hess incident in Scotland . I also learned a new word today- Nazidom?
5/25/41,5/26/41,5/29/41 & %/31/41 Some absolutely amazing headlines from this group of papers. from the sinking of the HMS Hood to the incorrect reporting of the death of Maax G. A very interesting map of Food & War and the sinking of the Bismark
I always found the Battle of Crete such an interesting subject to read and study. So many "Firsts" happened from weaponry to tactics to even the way secret information would be used. 6/1/41,6/2/41&6/4/41
Reversed negative maybe? They are all pointing with their left hands. It is hard to tell if the man in the black hat is wearing a double breasted coat but if it is it is closed on the wrong side. Can't tell about the man in the white hat jacket's button but it seems to indicate the negative isn't reversed.
I know I have said it before but some great maps again showing battle lines etc. I guess since the US was not in the war as of yet, information was not restricted from being reported in the papers. Also found it interesting seeing another US ship being sunk by Germany. 6/8/41,6/10/41,6/11/41,6/12/41,6/13/41,6/14/41&6/15/41
These scrapbooks are so good. Learned of the B-19 and the Duke of Aosta from this one. Douglas XB-19 - Wikipedia Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta - Wikipedia
A floating Jeep! What's next, a Sherman tank that can swim in the ocean? 7/6,41,7/18/41,7/19/41,7/20/41,7/21/41,7/22/41&7/23/41
I apologize to all for the lack of news these last couple weeks. Even though I had been vaccinated and had 2 boosters for Covid, the disease decided to become part of my daily life. Thankfully I am on the road to recovery and will start to try to have a normal life again. It is amazing how you miss the little things when they are taken from you! 8/9/41,8/10/41,8/11/41 & 8/12/41
