Your web browser should have Zoom capability.I have tried to find that on my own browser before (I use Firefox) but without success. Does anyone have a solution?
tet68, the trade off for increasing the font size of the images is prohibitive for me. In time, money and memory. I will likely be using the current formulation for the duration.

Just thought I’d ask. I really like reading the
clippings and old ads, especially the page 3 columns.
Thanks for your hard work.

Actually, it's easy. On the top tab folders, click on "View," then on "Toolbars," then on "Customize." You'll see the Zoom function ( - 100% + ). Drag it into your Toolbar, then click "Exit Customize." Then, it's available at all times with one click. I use it constantly.
I'm actually using Waterfox, so if Firefox isn't identical, let me know and I'll walk you through that.

How does one say “Watch me do this, mon” with a Jamaican accent?

I use Firefox and if you click on the map, it automatically zooms. You can use the scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out, click and drag to move to different areas of the map.
It’s a very nice tool. Kudos to Eternal Vigilance who found a very nice link that appears to have all the daily maps on this viewer. I was only able to locate these maps on the Library of Congress website, and they were very poor quality and only for about every 10th day or so. I tried posting some of them for Normandy but they weren’t worth the effort.

It seems that the US is falling back and losing in China.

On the top tab folders, click on "View,"I can't find that part.

Try holding down your Ctrl button while turning the scroll wheel on your mouse. Should be able to make the print as small or large as you want, any time you want.
To: EternalVigilance
Whoa! That is cool! (How do you get back to the default setting?)

Gotcha. Somehow you hid your Menu Bar. I'm assuming you have Tabs at the top showing each website you have open. Point your mouse into empty space to their right, and Right-Click. A drop-down menu should appear--just click on "Menu Bar." Then it should appear at the top-left:

Just scroll back to the size you want.
To: EternalVigilance
That’s a new one for me—thanks!

I found a photo of the ME262 that was handed over yesterday by a defecting Luftwaffe pilot.
To: EternalVigilance
Imagine the jaws dropping when that sucker rolled down the runway.

Lt. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz and Lt. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle debrief bomber crewmen after a raid on oil targets in Halle, Germany, March 31, 1945.
To: Homer_J_Simpson
It’s amazing he made it there. From what I read yesterday, he couldn’t get his landing gear up, and had to change where he was going to land.
To: EternalVigilance
Any idea what Bomb Group is being debriefed in the photo?
