One of them is dated 1961 and WW2 ended (in Europe) in 1945?

I do believe they are the dates of publication?

Well I can't see anything odd other than that - unless you count Ronald Regan narrating one of them.

I see you haven't done much studying on the Aleutians in WWII. If the C-B-I is the "forgotten front", the Aleutians is the "I didn't even know there was a front". :levi: Hence, a weather report would be all they'd be expected to give. [/obscure]

Thanks for the enlightenment Gawd. My WW2 history really is pretty good (well from a Brit perspective) but I was not aware of this episode. At least it wasn't a sense of humour failure, which I worried it might be! :mrgreen:

I didn't really know why, but it was the only one which was an attempt at making a funny.
it sort of stood out.
