This pic is entitled economy seating in the 1960s. My question is- What plane of that era had 9 across seating? I was under the impression the 747 was the first wide body and came into service around 1971. Anyone know? <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

DC10 had nine across, but it was usually a 2-5-2 arrangement.

 

Actually if you look at this arrangement it is 2-4-3 which would be a very unbalanced way of loading an aircraft and oh to have that much leg room again.

Secondly with regards to the bubble top cars they would be totally impractical for daily use. I use to work for an Import car magazine and we had a Toyota Sera to use for a week or so but even in the height of winter down here it was way too hot to sit in because of all the glass.

This looks like Jerry Lee Lewis

 

It is, Jerry Lee and his cousin Myra Gail Brown. She was also his third wife. Caused quite an uproar back around 1958.

 

Absolutely! Don't change a thing and thank you everyone for the great images.

 

Heard old Jerry Lee had a thing about jail bait. from an English news repor when he was touring there;

The headlines the next day were not good for the star&#8217;s first day in Britain.
But they were about to get much worse when it was quickly discovered that Lewis, 22 at the time of the wedding, had been lying.
Myra wasn&#8217;t 15. She was 13, and, therefore, absolutely not a "grown woman".
What&#8217;s more, she was the singer&#8217;s first cousin once removed.
And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, it was also revealed that he may have been bigamously married to her, since he hadn&#8217;t yet become divorced from his second wife, whom he&#8217;d married at 17, having wed his first wife at 14.

You make it sound like its a bad thing

 

I'll presume that an artist added the WWWs to the field gun tires on this 1939 collector card that I saw for sale online. Does anybody have the facts on it?

You are correct. The first 747 went into commercial service in 1970. The DC-10 and Lockheed TriStar went into commercial service about a year later.

With regard to the seating count discrepancy noted in the photo, I wonder if this was a staged photo for advertising or promotion of some sort. It is pretty artfully photographed with the exception that it caught that extra seat on the one side.

Earlier, during WWII, further up the beach,(North)---All the newly migrant defense plant workers from many states did not have housing facilities, so they pitched their own tents for the duration of the war.
Gradually, eating many meals from tin cans, the problem became a nusiance with all the cans building up.
It was then that Huntington beach was commonly known as: "Tin Can" beach.

 

Go back to the beginning of this thread and look for all the posts I did then and in the middle,
