Vintage shots from days gone by!

WTF?

 

That brings back memories. I used to collect and play with those SSP cars when I was a child. I had tons of fun with them.

 

Before her cop punching days.

 

WTF is in this bread? Poor child!

 

JEEZ LOUISE!!!!!

 

At least the dog got out.....loyalty only goes so far...lol

C124 Globemaster II
There was a shortlived C74 which was the first Globemaster - The C17 Globemaster III is the current model

 

Is that "V for Victory" in the window?

 

Too bad it was a one-way trip. I've often wondered if they just let the dog starve and/or suffocate, or did they have some mercy and a way to put it down once it was up there.

 

Yes but sometimes they were... GREAT!

 

I'm callin' BS on this one... Scoobie Doo & Men in Black ain't Vintage! Love the COE though!

Laika, a dog, was launched into space on the Sputnik 2 in 1957. She survived the launch and for a time in space, but after a week, the air ran out and Laika died. The following year, as its orbit deteriorated, the craft exited space and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and, without heat shields, burned up along with Laika's body.

N.Y. version of the Hatfields and the McCoys?

 

Marlene Dietrich, 1945, visiting American soldiers on the front lines in Europe on a USO tour. When asked why she had done this, in spite of the obvious danger of being within a few kilometers of German lines, she replied, "aus Anstand"&#8212;&#8221;out of decency&#8221;.

Dietrich, who became an American citizen in 1939, was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the United States government in 1945 as well as the Légion d&#8217;honneur by the French government in recognition of her wartime work.

 

or about to be...

 

This is truly remarkable and life-like. A real step back in time.
