I'm in on anything French-Indochina. Looks well done. -- Al

Saw it in the theater in '66 when it was released on a special outing with my Dad. Loved it then and still feel it is the best WW1 flying film that has been done. As a 13 year old, I was just captivated by the film and the real flying stunts. Really appreciated the attempts at making the...

Don't forget me, a Raven's fan by homestate affiliation. Started out a true die-hard BALTIMORE Colt's fan, and still am, but only the Johnny U/Bert Jones version. Was a Redskins fan, via local loyalty, until Danny Boy destroyed the franchise and became a Raven fan once they came to B-more. The...

Eastwood certainly deserves his place as a great western star, but as long as John Wayne is in the conversation, Wayne is #1 and everyone else is running for 2nd place. -- Al

Some good games for the title round. Two #1's and two #3's. Should be a worthy SB whoever gets in as all teams are among the best the NFL had this year. Will root for the home team Ravens. -- Al

Try driving in the DC area. Even a light rain paralyzes the roads. Snow closes everything for days. DC gets drivers from all over the world and none of them know what they are doing in inclement weather. -- Al

Been several months since the release of any new WW1 aircraft. Believe the last were the March 2023 Morane and the April 2023 Eindecker. Both of these were repaint issues so it's been a while since any really new aircraft have come out. Via a conversation with John in the spring of 2022, I know...

I believe one can pick up the KC/Miami game for free by going to nflwebcast.com and clicking on the KC or Miami logo. -- Al

Thanks for the answer. I suspected as much, but I have no literature on hand. -- Al

Didn't take DeBoer to leave Washington for the muggy air of Bama. He's got quite the act to follow. Reminds me of when Perkins followed Bryant. -- Al

The Sioux and Crow warriors have really caught my attention. I intend to collect several of each and since they were none-to-fond of one another, have them face off. Anyone know if this is a historical possibility in terms of the depicted time periods? I just love these mounted warriors. -- Al

We could certainly try and bite a crab or two. ^&grin -- Al

Welcome home, Sammy. Have a safe trip back to the home of the O's and Ravens. -- Al

I hope JJD considers a reissue of Crazy Horse. I have decided to dip into these magnificent Sioux warriors, but the Crazy Horse figure is available nowhere. Without a chief, my war party is going to be very restricted in size. I am most impressed with this series and consider these warriors to...

Happy Birthday, Louis. -- Al

Gotta give Lamar and the Ravens some credit here. The Ravens crushed 2 of the NFL's best teams in consecutive games, outscoring SF and Miami 89-38. Lamar made a strong bid for MVP honors by going 41-56, with 573 passing yards and throwing 7 TD's with no interceptions in the 2 games and adding 80...

Boy, did I ever miss the mark on this game, at least from the Terp POV. UMd dominated from the start and scored 21 points in the 1st quarter, the most 1st quarter points in the 30 bowl games they have played in. Terps have just shot Auburn to pieces in every aspect of the game. They currently...

Hanson's Western Way of War is one of my favorite reads. I really like his work. -- Al

Just received a book which will cause an uproar in some historical circles. It is called "The Panzers of Prokhorovka: The Myth of Hitler's Greatest Armoured Defeat". Written by Ben Wheatley and published by Osprey this year. This book will explode the old myth of German AFV losses running into...

And that's why they play the games...After listening to every pundit for the last 2 weeks predict a SF victory, led by Super MVP Purdy, it was extremely satisfying to see the Ravens win last night's game. Don't know that it means much in the long run, I was just pleased to see it happen. Nothing...
