Alright you guys; I guess I gotta compartmentalize my preferences. Sheesh!
For WW I aero movies, no doubt whatsoever: Ursula Undress, er, Andress, with a towel at half mast floats my boat every time.
For WW II German photos, my hands-down favorite is Maj. Pips Priller, CO JG-26, in his BMW roadster with the duty blonde in the passenger seat, posed with his freshly-painted FW-190. It don't get any better than that
EXCEPT
On p.72 of the current Flight Journal, as part of an excellent article on the Women Air Service Pilots, there's my heart-throb photo since the time I started flying and noticed that girls were different (from guys, that is.) Come to think of it, all those events occurred about 19-ought-65, the same time Ursula appeared in TBM. But I digress.
Louisa Thomson is the severely cute WASP with a backpack 'chute slung over one shoulder, about to deliver a photo P-38 (F-5) somewhere. Maybe if I've been really-really good (and what are the chances?) I'll meet her grand daughter at an airshow in Y2K.
