....Crashaz,...thanks for posting. I got a big kick out of the "Spirit of 43" cartoon starring Donald Duck. He's confronted whether to squander his extra payroll money on wine, women and song,....or,...to keep it aside in order to pay his federal income tax so more armaments can be produced. No punches are pulled in showing what the Axis powers act and look like.

A long time ago, the local PBS channel in Denver ran Lowell Thomas Remembers, that ran newsreels narrated by Lowell Thomas. He grew up in Colorado. I used to love watching that show in the 70's. I wish they would bring the old shows like that back on YouTube, or DVD...

Some aviation related newsreels...

Great find Crashaz ...

I've been missing the history channel since my cable company, (comcast,) moved the programming to a HD channel that required a digital controller box ... which I don't have.
