Many thanks.

For all JFB's; a cool loading screen from the above mentioned site.

Nice pic..but why are there three capital ships in the shot?



I think Geoff has hit the nail on the head, its probably HMS. Vampire Warspite.[;)]

Okay... craziest looking destroyer I ever saw. Must have been on steroids [:D]



I know, it's a depiction made by Tokyo Rose where they really sank one carrier, three battleships and numerous other cruisers and destroyers.

I guess I'm not the only one who drafted the womenfolk for the war effort.

To show the men what they were fighting for although the middle one may have actually been a ferry pilot.



fcooke -> RE: Is it just me? (6/9/2021 1:37:56 AM)

But what is the plane. Based on the curves (plane folks) I would guess B-26 but that black vertical thing in the background, if a tail, eliminates the B-26. A number of years ago someone posted a link to a bunch of pin-ups. It was very entertaining. It was the first time I had ever heard of Jinx Falkenberg. My kind of young woman. And not just a pretty face.

Yeah. She was an actual WW2 warplane ferry pilot.

She certainly looks like the MaryAnne of the group.....



Platoonist -> RE: Is it just me? (6/9/2021 1:59:36 AM)

My other load screen follows a similar theme. Before staring a map for hours on end you need a little eye candy.

or does that guy leaning over the plotting table on the "Setting Sail!" screen look like a young Tom Hanks?


I don't see the resemblance.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that uses those load screens. [;)]



LargeSlowTarget -> RE: Is it just me? (6/9/2021 4:23:04 AM)

That guy leaning over the plotting table on the "Setting Sail!" screen is actually the father of one of the makers of AE - nice little homage.

I always figured that guy had a certain "cool" factor. Nonchalantly wearing his shades below decks.

Could have been hypersensitivity to light, or just trying to minimize light to improve night vision. The Japanese kept their night lookouts in a dark room for most of the day.



Ian R -> RE: Is it just me? (6/9/2021 2:03:15 PM)

Nah. It's just that his future's so bright ...



fcooke -> RE: Is it just me? (6/9/2021 2:21:11 PM)

Not to insult anyone but is that not Belushi in 1941?

Good thing I don't smoke......curious who it really is.



geofflambert -> RE: Is it just me? (6/10/2021 2:03:30 AM)

Looks more like Powers Boothe than Tom Hanks to me.



geofflambert -> RE: Is it just me? (6/10/2021 2:05:38 AM)

As Jim Jones

Look at the hair on the back of the ape's hands, then Tom Hank's hands.

geofflambert -> RE: Is it just me? (6/10/2021 2:41:56 AM)

The other guy who looks like Matthew Modine (but isn't), his character's name is Lt. Hanks.

LST just said who he is. You must have missed the post.



geofflambert -> RE: Is it just me? (6/10/2021 2:56:23 AM)

Here's a good comparison

This thread is hard to disregard...



fcooke -> RE: Is it just me? (6/10/2021 7:39:42 AM)

One of the fathers of the makers of AE - which one? Having failed on 1941 I am going for Operation Petticoat next.

Now I am feeling more stupid than usual.....and that's difficult to do. Still cannot figure out who it is...but good to see some old names on that thread.
