I love the 40s! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. This selection of art from the time is marvelous. Even the clothes back then were great! Thanks for sharing this.

I’m new to your blog, drawn because you like mine, “In search of unusual destinations”. Just to say: this blog, for a UK citizen who was born following WW2, is itself a most unusual destination – but one I shall return to. You have amassed some remarkable material. All good wishes for the future. Phil.

I thank you for your comments and for reading. Like you, I know only what I was taught in school about the war in Europe, until I began reading other blogs and looking into some of the events. Ditto on the good wishes.

Ronald Reagan advertising for Chesterfields… I magnified the Greyhound ad; the message indicated it had to be in ’45. A glimpse into a far different reality. Thanks.

Gpcox, thanks for stopping by and liking my post regarding bootcamp. It was poorly written, and I got off track. I should have spent the time speaking about the young adults whos’ presentations I was fortunate enough to hear and evaluate. Your post was wonderful, and I loved reading all the comments. Take care and again thanks, Bill
