[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 602629, member: 2844"]Very interesting nonetheless.:) Your father may have known my father-in-law. He joined the Netherlands Navy Air Force (Marine Luchtvaartdienst) in 1942, this was before there was a separate Air Force. He trained as a pilot in several places in the US and was posted in Broome, Western Australia, a day after the Japanese bombing of Dutch-Indonesian refugee ships in Broome. He also served in Darwin and was active as a pilot in the Pacific War. He even named his second son Arthur, after General MacArthur.;) A general 60s thing, I think. We used to have 'kasbah' style shops here in the 60s, with a lot of North African things. It was probably the same in the US.[/QUOTE]
