She was perfect...IMO. Sometimes a bit AC/DC but it was fun being between her and another babe now and then.

Yes, Manila John's wife. Sargent, later Gunny, John Basilone won "The Medal" on Guadalcanal. He and Lena were portrayed fairly well in the HBO series "The Pacific."

Semper Fi!

Gunny John.

PS. I watched "The Pacific" once - had to - I will never watch it again. GJ

("Good Lord, young man. Didn't they teach you anything in the Marines?"

"Yes, M'am. They taught me to kill Japs; and I got damned good at it.")

When I was five Grandma used to take me to the Jense Beach Womens Club that was often hosted by Francis Langford. Francis was married to Ralph Evenrude who bought her a s125' foot ship the Chanticleer. Grandma took me and I met Mrs Langford. I remember she wore those 3 foot wide dresses. She had opened a restaurent "The Outrigger" decored with her past and USO mementos. She was definitly a 'BEAUTY'!~~~~~Eric http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Langford

Francis Langford was America's answer to Britain's Vera Lynn during the war. We also had Kate Smith, Dinah Shore and Doris Day.

That one photo of her entertaining in front of a B-17 was portrayed in the movie "Memphis Belle".

Hell even for a young buck like myself, them are some very lovely ladies. You just gotta love how those women looked back then. I thank you for posting pictures of these beautiful women and letting those of us that just do not havet a clue, a quick glimpse into our past.

It was the best medicine, I bet!!

What a great topic.
Few days ago a friend sent me this link, which I find you may like to see. There are a few beauties there (and others not so attractive, but that's life..).
