    I'd be afraid to test that four banger with that load. And the tracks will eat the tires. Like driving over a huge file according to one study.

    The cast of “Mr. Roberts” comedy/drama, 1955: Ward Bond, James Cagney, William Powell, Henry Fonda and Jack Lemmon. If you never saw it, you missed something very good.

    "No palm trees were killed or injured in the making of this movie."

    My favorite movie.
    All were superb, even if Fonda was a bit old for the part.
    William Powell's last role and my favorite of the movie.

    Retread reservists were fairly common, especially on rear echelon units, like that ship. So a "retread" wouldn't be surprising.

    “Hump Haven” was a bar built in 1944 by members of the Air Transport Command (ATC) using the roomy fuselage of a crashed Commando (41-24743) in Yunnanyi, China.
