Also with Rene Bane, I've teamed up to list a bunch of great World War II memorabilia. Rene sent over an album from her great uncle or grandfather who was stationed in different places as a World War II cryptographer. His collection of photographs and cards from the era include some interesting landscapes, such as Isle of Capri and the oasis at Aden which is, I think, in Yemen. Some of these are stunning because they depict cultures and societies which in the 1940s were quite primitive. Using these images, we've created a series of postcards, cards, mugs, hats, tees, buttons, magnets and what-have-you. For the history buff of World War II or the geographer of the Meditereanian nations, you'll find visual adventure and local color, some esprit de corps of WWII, planes and people. Check it out. If you find an image you'd like to purchase for collage, let me know at ktibbits at lrec.org and I can fix you up with a download or disc also. More images will be created and uploaded as time allows.
