Glen made a scrapbook in 1939, just before graduating high school and enlisting in the Army or Air Force, he never saw action overseas, but fixed a hell of a lot of airplanes... coincidentally his passion as you'll see from some of his scrap book.

Above, the Zeppelin Hindenburg flying over New York on her maiden voyage

Above, the Airacuda... cool name! Never heard of it before, looks effin cool

Lastly, here are a few photos of Glen, motorcyclist, member of the High Boots MC, WW2 airplane mechanic (busted his leg getting hit by a car when pushing his motorcycle, so had to wear a thigh to ankle cast for 18 months. Have no idea how he kept from cutting that off after a month or two. He made a sidecar for his motorcycle so he could be mobile, as his cast wouldn't allow him to drive a car) due to the leg damage, he wasn't sent out of CONUS

A variety of the unusual from Yuripasholok Livejournal

 wow... wire rims, and aerodynamics... but no information on what is the story behind that car

looks like a bus converted to use as a car hauler, and though the step cut outs are great, the cab looks ridiculous

If the weather is so nice you can sleep outdoors, a bunkbed on your Pontiac might not be a bad idea for the kids to look at the stars

ever think about concept car designers being amazing at everything except the glaringly obvious rims and wheels? Always the most let down aspect of a cool prototype

that wagon must weigh a lot...

 the adjustable wings are suspect, but the fold up 4 wheels looks like brilliant engineering.

the best photo I've found of how people entered and disembarked a dirigible, and how the mast connected to the blimp
