3,000 ALLIED TANKS p. 1 and

LAUGHING AMERICAN GENERALS p. 3.

GIDDY SPIRIT!!!

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.

[tet68]

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

I was under the impression that there was only one purpose for rum.

Oh no, it is an all-purpose beverage.

Wife left.
Got married.
Got new job.
Got fired.
Cubs knocked out of playoffs.
Forty-niners won Super Bowl.
Etc.

[Hebrews 11:6]

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?

[henkster]

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.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

On the top tab folders, click on "View,"

I can't find that part.

[EternalVigilance]

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.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Whoa! That is cool! (How do you get back to the default setting?)

[Hebrews 11:6]

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:
File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help

[EternalVigilance]

Just scroll back to the size you want.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That’s a new one for me—thanks!

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Woo hoo! I am empowered! Thanks so much.

[EternalVigilance]

I found a photo of the ME262 that was handed over yesterday by a defecting Luftwaffe pilot.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Imagine the jaws dropping when that sucker rolled down the runway.

[EternalVigilance]

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.

[EternalVigilance]

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.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Any idea what Bomb Group is being debriefed in the photo?
