Turbulent time period as well. This is another top notch unit HT!
That's part of what makes it so interesting.....
Although the military aspects are only a small part of what makes things in that time period so interesting:
Mostly it's the breakthroughs in science: The invention of the Telephone, Radio, vacuum tube, automobile, etc began a massive revolution in the everyday lives of people around the world that still is going on today.
Of course, IMO, things have gone incredibly wrong, starting in the 1950's where everything all of a sudden started becoming disposable and completley bland and lacking in style...
...Which is why I'm a steampunk: I'm part of a relatively small, but growing, group of people who are trying to bring back the standards of quality and craftmanship of that bygone era, not to mention the style... I LIKE how those old phones looked, damnit!
They had a utilitarian elegance and style that these modern plastic "robot turds" (as I like to think of them) could never hope to match, not to mention that I have two that are over 50 years old and still fully functional, while these modern pieces of crap can't be expected to last more than 3 years tops!
Also, I've gotten P.O.ed at the insistence of modern electronic engineers of cramming as many useless and unnecessary functions into a device as possible.... I want a PHONE, dammit! Not some gosh-awful phone/mini-TV/camera/computer abomination!
...but I digress. Glad you guys like the unit.
