In pic #3 of the "In the Beginning" section I recognized my late next door neighbor.
Betty McQuaid flew with TWA in the late '30s and thru the '40s, eventually marrying one of its pilots.
Betty was featured several times in TWA publicity. She was as petite and charming at 90 as she had been in her 20s.

Those russian PBF masks crack me up - it's like they deliberately went out to design something more half-life than half life!
They do look very mickey mouse with a helmet on tho ... and those masks are available on ebay so you can too! Handy for fancy dress or just for nipping to the shops after the bomb drops ;)

I far as I can tell the text in the corner of that picture translates to: "Lightning Models on the Front".

Hawai'ian people worship Pele, (pronounced [ˈpɛlɛ] in Hawaiian, /ˈpeɪleɪ/ PAY-lay in English) is the goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes and violence. She is a daughter of Haumea and Kane Milohai, and her home is believed to be the fire pit, Halema'uma'u crater, at the summit caldera of Kīlauea, one of the Earth's most and continuously active volcanoes; but her domain encompasses all volcanic activity on the Big Island of Hawai'i.
There are several traditional legends associated with Pele in Hawaiian mythology.
One thing never to expect of the Hawai'ian people, Move your BBQ if you have those fake volcanic looking rocks in them. They have a taboo against moving the volcanic rock period. (I know, was stationed at Hickam and could NOT get my grill moved with the fake lava rocks in it.) :D

Some very creative ideas for pranks.
The pictures with the post it notes and the endless piles of paper remind me of my cubicle. And no one even had to play a prank on me!
The mobile cubicle for your boss is a great idea.
However, if that idea proves inpractical, I have an alternative for dealing with your boss:
(1) Attach a small, inconspicuous electronic motor underneath his chair. Ensure that the device can be operated by remote control.
(2) Install a small strap belt onto the chair for safety reasons.
(3) Using a remote control, wheel your boss around the office anywhere you like.
Cheers
Andrew

,,By the way, on the bottom left is one of the Hitler's macho dreams - the Maus. This would give you some idea what unspeakable scale was projected for the Soviet "Bolshevik" tank from 1932.''
Actually, it's the other way round: left-bottom corner silhouette depicts the Kollosalwagen, whereas the Maus can be seen on the right.

Rocket firing Sovjet tanks are not very special. After the experimental types ALL russian tanks sported 125 mm, or bigger, SMOOTH bore cannons that fired either fin stabilized grenades or sabots or guided rockets.
The Germans had a siege tank, the Sturmtiger, that was armored with halve a foot of steel on the front, that drove up to a bunker and fired a 38 cm rocket, at point blank range in the bunker, penetrating 2.5 meters of reinforced concrete, destroying it.
As for the Russian and German soldier shown together: the first pacts between Stalin and Hitler entailed a joined development of tanks and tank warfare strategies during which training bouts the germans actually kept up with the pace of the Allied tank armies, which had been forbidden by the treaty of Versailles.
www.achtungpantzer.com for all details on all german tanks (although it doesn't have the ball tank on it)

With respect to the A7V, your joke about stormtroopers is unfortunate. It took me a while to figure out you meant the Star Wars Stormtroopers and not the WW1 Stosstruppen or the Nazi Sturmabteilung. You have to allow that some of your readers' references go back a little farther than the last 15 hours!

The oversize multi-turreted tanks are explicable; when the internal combustion engine was new, people envisaged "land ships"; terrestrial versions of Naval battleships. That there would be an upper practical weight of about 50 tonnes for tanks, was not obvious.
See this prediction from 1900:
"Huge forts on wheels will dash across open spaces at the speed of express trains of to-day. They will make what are now known as cavalry charges."
