Savoring a couple issues of Popular Mechanics and Mechanics Illustrated from June & July 1945 sent by a friend. Inside front-cover is a painting of the navigator's position on a B-29. Replete with hand-drawn artwork, War Bond drives ("to pay off the 7th lending") how-to's, fixit's (back when people repaired things), and ads for quality stuff (and some cheesy fad items) at less than a shot of Starbuck's.
Intermixed of course was the hand=sketched quiz "Name these 10 Jap planes, answers on page...."
I'm particularly interested in finding this "Radioman's Guide" replete with projects, fundamentals and tons of illustrations -
772 pages, four bucks. I need Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine.
