That's how I read it, too. I think it's WWII-era, but not certain.
I am impresssed by the skills you have acquired. It doesn't seem like very long ago that you were just beginning to learn the basics here on Free Republic. You have taken to it 'like a duck to water'.
Plus you are doing an excellent job with your 'Dark Underside Belly of the Beast' work.. Many many real resources you find and pass on for our erudition and greater understanding.
Thanks for all you contribute and do. I APPRECIATE IT.
