I remember those days, I turned 10 years on Oct 26 1940.

We didn’t have TV, we did have radio, newspapers, Life, Time and the Saturday Evening Post mags, plus newsreels and friends and family in the services. ;)

"Bomb Sight Reported Released to British – 2"

Isn't one of the ironies that Germans had already stolen the Norden bomb sight plans before the began?

"Japanese Bid High to Russia for Amity, Seeing War with Us – 7"

Not exactly a secret that Japan expected war with the US eventually.
