Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Okay... it says they were '...organized as a Mountain Division,...and trained in mountain AND jungle warfare'...hmmh!
....seems like they'd look pretty stupid traipsing around the mountains of New Guinea with their cross-country skiis.... but hey, it IS the Army, after all!
a Jungle Mountain division..... that's getting pretty specialized. Let's send 'em to Europe! Yep.....THAT's the Army!
-whatever

(... and, no, it's NOT Burt Lancaster!....sheesh!...)

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
I obviously didn't know it and Lou is going to be out of pocket, so he sent me the answer so we could keep the game going.
Hints: It's a female and is not the official name of an aircraft-it's crew's name, nose art.
She person is well known.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Well, that film was based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and the two main characters were Marlow and Kurtz, if that's any help. Did Brando play Kurtz, or am I misremembering?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Swoosie Kurtz.
"Mr. Kurtz, a career Air Force officer who later worked as an executive with the William May Garland development company in Los Angeles, is also survived by his daughter, Swoosie Kurtz, who is surely the only actress named for an airplane."
