Why can’t you pin up an e-book?,
I must confess that I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great pictures of bygone dazzlers of damnseldom that probably hung in the lockers or were carried in the rucksacks of many a GI in the Big One, WWII. I actually have a couple of issues of Yank brought back from the ETO (European Theater of Operations) from 1944-45 by my folks who both served there, Mom as an Army Nurse, Dad as a Forward Observer. This was a fun look back, along with some interesting tidbits about the glam gals of the war years.
