QUIZ TIME:

What did Eisenhower always carry in a zippered wallet when traveling (during WW2)??

And no, it wasn't this!!

Hmmm.... no comments on the placement of the staple...

Anyway, back to the quiz... a hint: there were three of these things (that were in the zippered wallet...)

Three identical things???

No, he carried these throughout the war... he would have only had the letters for a day or so, and i doubt they would have been in the wallet...

Seem to remember someone trying to 'top-gun' a B-52 with less than optimum results.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myDClXpTnnc

Edited because I knew it was somewhere.

Someone may have already mention it, but if I remember correctly, that plane was being piloted by a General.

Nope, it was a Lt Col. - 2 other Lt. Colonels and a full Colonel were also killed. They were practicing for an air show...

If a random person saw them, they would normally be considered civilian objects...

Another clue... they were all approximately the same size (afaik)... and of course they are small enough to be held in a smallish wallet...

How important is the 'when traveling' part of your statement?

Well, supposedly that was when he was sure to have them, but i suspect he carried them at other times as well.

Good guess, but objects were metalic in origin. Keep guessing, Steve. This one will keep me up all night.
