Distant Drums

I have spent most of my adult life as a globe trotter, traveling, and living abroad for business. In my time away, I grew a passion for the 20s, 30s, and 40s - and little for the 50s. This blog is an eclectic mix of travel, aviation, people of the early to mid 20th Century and silver screen.
