Here are some quotes from people that purchased this DVD set
I received the discs tonight, watched them, and they are Great! Thanks so much for the memories. Even though I didn't arrive in
Thailand
until '71, not a lot had changed. It is truly a wonderful effort on your part to turn out something to give us all a piece of what it was really like.

Received the DVD today, and it is fantastic!  You did a great job on this, couldn't stop watching it.  It brought back some old memories, although I was not at Korat, but up north at NKP in '74.  It made me wish that I had a movie camera then, plus I wish I had taken better care of what pictures I did have.  Thanks again for a great trip!

, Thank God for guys like you who are keeping the memories alive. The memory kind of slips as we get older and its really great that someone like you came along to refresh those memories. I really hope others will get this because anyone who was there should have one. I'm going to contact my old buddies and let them know about it. Good Luck and as Bob Hope used to say. Thanks for the memories.

I'm very happy with the DVD because it showed my favorite airplane (F-105) and the base of korat. My dad was a crew chief in Korat in 64,65 , He had 381 and 417.  I'm going to purchase your DVD for my brothers. Your DVD was absolutely top of the line, or sierra hotel for us military types.
Fes
, thank you so much for your service to my beloved
AMERICA
.  Best regards Fred.
Received DVD today and I have been glued to it ever since!!!!!
What a fantastic effort on your part!! The similarities are amazing between Korat and U-Tapao! I didn't recognize any of the USAF guys but recognized a couple of the bar girls. I'm sure they migrated around to all the bases. I recognized some of the
Bangkok
scenes as well and the Lowry AFB ones also. Everyone who was stationed in
Thailand
should have this DVD and would deeply enjoy it!!  I enjoyed your
Bunker Hill
re-union and the Lowry clips as well. We were such KIDS then and 40 years has turned us into Old Guys!!! Great job!!!!
Thanks a million and very best wishes

I got the DVD/CD set yesterday and spent most of the afternoon and evening looking at every photo and every movie. It was a great trip down memory lane and will watch it many, many more times. I was surprised to see one of my squadron's F-105G's (MD tail code 265) in the photos on the CD.   I loved seeing what the base looked like several years before I got there but they must have built a new BX by April of 72. I was only there 3 months on TDY and we were housed in the same two story barracks that you appeared to be in.
I've not seen a commercial movie or photos of any type that captures the feeling of what it was like over there. It seems like the personal photos and movies from guys like yourself do it the best.
It was great to see some Lowry AFB pics and movies too. That's where I spent 6 months in tech school. I was an imagery interpretation specialist and since I was married at the time I lived off base for most of my schooling in Aurora on Xenia street, just a few blocks north of the base. One of the guys I lived with in those old WWI barracks for the first few weeks on base was a bomb load specialist from Louisiana.
THE PRODUCT:
This is a collection of movies and slides taken by me while stationed in
Korat
,
Thailand
in 1966-67 as an Airman First Class in the US Air Force.  During that time I was on a munitions load team, loading weapons on the F105 Thunderchief.
I was an avid photographer, in both Super 8 MM movie and 35 MM still photography.  During a military reunion I showed my old films and photos and received many requests for a copy.  That gave me the idea to make this available on
eBay
to share with you.
If you were at any base in
Thailand
during the war I promise you this will bring back a flood of memories.  If you were not there but know someone who was, family or friend, buy this for them.  They will thank you for it.  If you just want to see some history through the eyes of a vet that was there, buy this.
In addition, there is a section on Lowry AFB in
Denver
,
Colorado
taken in 1964.  Includes movies and slide shows of Airmen at training school.  The Beatles had just come to
America
then and there are funny photos of guys wearing Beatle wigs, making fun of their long hair.  Little did we know that long hair was going to rule for years.  See history in the making.
THE DETAILS
:
The original Super 8 MM film has been digitally scanned, frame-by-frame and converted to DVD.  There is no flicker or hot spot such as found when old film is just video taped off a projected movie.
There are some flight-line shots but the vast majority of the work concentrates on life around the base and off-base, including the night life.
The movie is in color but many of the still photos are monochrome.  The slides were shot in color.  All photos were shot with a Pentax Spotmatic 35 MM camera, except the Lowry photographs.
FREE! You also receive, at no cost, a DATA DVD of photos in .jpg format and some audio files.  The audio is of the house girls, inside the Airman’s Club, and inside a bar with the live band.  These clips are only a few minutes long but it sure hits home.  You will love to hear those sounds again.  The Data DVD will NOT run on your TV DVD player.  Because it is a data DVD it will only run on your PC.  After you insert it in you PC a menu pops up and from you can select from from the many slide shows or audio files.
Your name will be printed on the face of the DVD, like this: “Created for (your name)”.  I'll use the shipping name unless you specify otherwise.  If you email me a .jpg picture of you in uniform or any photo you like, I'll put that picture on the face of the DVD at no charge.  I don’t change “Robert” to “Bob” etc. so be sure to tell me how to print the name, unless the shipping name is exactly what you want.  I read the comments area of your PayPal payment so that is a good place indicate your preferences.  The DVD is rated PG and the CD is PG-13 for some saucy photos but NO porn.  Do not buy this if that is what you are looking for.
I do not provide narration during the movies.  You see it just as I saw it.  Let your mind do what my mind did when I shot it, just look and wonder.  There is background music but if it does not fit your taste just hit the mute button.
Instant payment is required via PayPal.   I think you will be satisfied but if the product does not meet your expectations you are not stuck.  I will give you full refund with a simple email from you requesting a refund.  If, for any reason, the DVD does not work, or you receive it damaged, I will replace it upon request on good faith and I pay the postage for the replacement.  You do NOT have to return anything.  Just tell me you have destroyed both DVDs and I will refund your PayPal account in full.
Why do I require instant payment?  First of all, I can truly say no one has ever refused to pay and I have never had a refund request.  BUT - I have had slow payers and that kills me because I can not create the DVDs until I receive payment which messes up my work flow.  I don't want to remember what orders can not be processed because I'm waiting for payment.
This is listed as one business day shipping.   If the timing is right I often ship the same day.
Saturday and
Sunday orders will ship on Monday unless Monday is a no-mail holiday.
You will receive instant positive feedback from me as soon as I process your order.  I will also send you a link to a personal video just for you posted on You Tube that only you can see to let you know the shipping status.
