WWII Bomber Crews

Hot on the heels of Saturday's Buzz Rickson's Flight Jacket post, and a trip to the Imperial War Museum Duxford, I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the brave crews who risked their lives on missions during WWII, but looked great into the bargain.

From Here To Eternity

Mil-issue chinos and leathers, Hawaiian shirts, Burt and Deb rolling around in the surf - what's not to like about "From Here To Eternity"? Some great supporting cast there too, Frank in his comeback role, Monty as the rebellious Prewitt, and Borgnine at his vicious best.

By the way, if you're into the FHTE look, try a Buzz Ricksons HBT work shirt, some Cramerton Twills from Bill's Khakis, a pair of black Red Wing Iron Rangers, and an Aloha shirt from Reyn Spooner. Oh, and some number two clippers around the back and sides.

How many watches should a man own?

Five, ten, twenty, or just one? For me, I guess the answer would be "as many as he can afford". Personally, I'm partial to divers' and military watches on 'Nato' straps. From L to R in the lower shot: Seiko SKX diver, Omega Seamaster 120, CWC Royal Navy diver, Seiko Diver 40mm, Stowa Airman, CWC automatic.
