The last mission flown by RNZAF 6 Flying Boat Squadron on 8 September 1945, Wing Commander Smith and Flying Officer Regan dropped leaflets on Nauru and Ocean Islands.
This set is just so classy right down to the Certificate of Authenticity and the instruction leaflet. I love it when attention has been paid to the details!
The box-opening of Fairyland LittleFee Mio Steam Age Cat fullset!
I was regretting that I didn't get to order Mio Steam Age Cat straight from Fairyland. And then a perfect fullset suddenly pops out for sale at a local doll forum! Actually I didn't mean to buy another resin doll next (I had my eyes set for Dollfie Dreams and Azone 1/3-scale dolls) but this was a must-buy. She's my birthday present to myself. :3
This was one of the bestest doll purchase experience if not THE best for me!
The seller was really kind, they had perfect communication and when I received the doll - the seller had wrapped her in beautiful gift-wrappings! O3O And I didn't even mention to the seller beforehand that this doll was to be my birthday present to myself!
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers were encouraged to desert by these "chieu hoi" (Open Arms) leaflets that were airdropped in areas we didn't control. The leaflets featured stories of those who found happiness on the side of the South Vietnamese government, showed piles of captured weapons, wounded captives being treated well, etc.
Some of those who came over became scouts and translators for our Marine battalion. For some reason, they were called "Kit Carson" scouts. I doubt they did well after South Vietnam fell to the communists about 6 years after I found these in an area we were patrolling.
That's authentic Vietnamese mud on the leaflets.

Rhus glabra (smooth sumac) is a species of sumac in the family Anacardiaceae, native to North America, from southern Quebec west to southern British Columbia in Canada, and south to northern Florida and Arizona in the United States and Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico..
One of the easiest shrubs to identify throughout the year (unless mistaken for Rhus vernix, poison sumac, in the absence of mature fruit) smooth sumac has a spreading, open-growing shrub growing up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall, rarely to 5 metres (16 ft). The leaves are alternate, 30–50 cm long, compound with 11-31 leaflets, each leaflet 5–11 cm long, with a serrated margin. The leaves turn scarlet in the fall. The flowers are tiny, green, produced in dense erect panicles 10–25 centimetres (3.9–9.8 in) tall, in the spring, later followed by large panicles of edible crimson berries that remain throughout the winter. The buds are small, covered with brown hair and borne on fat, hairless twigs. The bark on older wood is smooth and grey to brown.
I know nothing about this. Can anyone read Japanese to shed light in what it was for? To me it looks like it was intended for Japanese citizens. To be dropped on Japan during the American invasion that didn’t need to happen?… Mustang Koji are you out there?
Notice on the bottom edge is “Rakkasan News No. 11” and I found this in searching en.wikipedia.org/wiki/187th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)
This original leaflet is in my personal collection.
Dear Viewer,
I know you're angry with our government, but a vote for the BNP on June 4th is NOT a protest vote. A vote for the BNP is a vote for bigotry, hate, inequality, racism, and fearmongering.
The BNP lie, to their own members, to their own supporters, but more easily, they lie to you, because you're angry and you're happy for someone to say 'comforting' things about how everything will be much better when they're in charge. It won't be.
The BNP are a dangerous bunch, and no matter how much they try to insinuate they have left 'those days' behind, they haven't. There's plenty of evidence out there to prove that Nick Griffin and his pals are still white supremacist bastards who hate not only races and religions, but also women. One of their members who sits on the London assembly likened rape to force feeding a woman chocolate cake, they like sex, they like cake....go seek out the footage of that fucker talking.
Anyway, I urge you to vote for ANYONE other than the BNP. Please. Or if you can't bring yourself to vote for any party, spoil your ballot.
Yours
The Untrained Eye

Spanish leaflet by Cifesa Produccion. Image: Warner Bros. Spanish poster for the American film Dark Victory (Edmund Goulding, 1939), starring Bette Davids and George Brent. Publicity for the showing of this film alternated with the Italian film Quattro passi fra le nuvole (Alessandro Blasetti, 1942) at the Madrid-based Cine Victoria, which opened in 1940. The film was the eight of eleven films in which Davis and Brent were paired.
American film star Bette Davis (1908-1989) was one of the greatest actors in world cinema history. She dared to play unsympathetic, sardonic characters and was reputed for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies. Her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.
George Brent, born George Brendan Nolan (Ballinasloe, 15 March 1904,- Solana Beach, 26 May 1979) was an Irish actor who was mainly active in American cinema in the 1930s and 1940s. He was paired eleven times with Bette Davis, e.g. in Jezebel and Dark Victory.

A 1937 leaflet asking for members of the public to give presents for the children in The National Children's Home
This is the cover of the leaflet for the combined timetables of Edinburgh bus routes 11, 15 & 16 and Tramway route 28 - and it is of interest in that it is the penultimate stage of tram abandonment in Edinburgh dated 12 September 1956. Tram route 28 would struggle on, with the 23, for another 8 weeks or so until 16 November 1956 when it would all end - except that hopefully in 2011 Edinburgh will have trams back, but not to Morningside!
The 11, 15 & 16 bus services still form the backbone of services to this part of south Edinburgh - and even the northern sections are broadly recognisable today, I do love the full title of the undertaking - "City and Royal Burgh of Edinburgh Transport Department", before it was slimmed down to the more 'snappy' Edinburgh City Transport'!
