From: rbeville%tekig5.pen.tek.com@RELAY.CS.NET For the Memphis Belle-ers, on the magazine stands at your local supermarket, there is the December issue of _WINGS_, a Sentry publication. The feature, comprising about 2/3 of the issue is the making of the movie _MEMPHIS_BELLE_. There is total disclosure of the 5 real B-17s that were used... how multiple negatives were used in the printing room to give the illusion of a huge formation... how scale RC models were used... how special effects similar to Star Wars was done... how the full size bombers in the background were only foreshortened 'billboards'... Another article in the mag is about all the weird airplane designs that barely made it off the drawing board or out of the prototype shop. By either my subscription to _WORLD WAR II_ or ordering from Kaufman's Army-Navy Goods, I've received a catalog from... ZENITH BOOKS, Worlds Best Selection of Aviation, R/C and Military Books and Video Tapes... It's 54 pages of smaller than classified pages type, sectioned into calendars, genesis of flight, WW1, between the wars, WW2, War in Asia and the Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, Falklands & Grenada, Modern Military Hardware, Military Vehicles(be still my heart), Warships, Helos, Military Histories, Space & Future AV., Civil & Light AV., Gen. Interest, Air Racing, Air Shows, Private Pilot, Homebuilder, Aero- nautics & Technical, Modelbuilder, R/C, ..... There are seven pages of Video titles... There is something for everyone, but 3/4 emphasis on aviation. Convinced? call 1-800-826-6600 for this fall 1990 catalog. The cover is a Hellcat painted in likeness to the one of Lt. Vrachiu, Pacific ace, from the LONE STAR FLIGHT MUSEUM, HOUSTON. They promote orders received by Dec 15 will arrive in time for Christmas. If I had more bandwidth, I'd list some good titles. Bye y'all. that's -OWARI- from GLOWWORM-7-9-4 best regards, rbeville@tekig5.PEN.TEK.COM Bob Beville, Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, OR 97077
