+1
But these were back in the days when kids had some imagination (or perhaps that's just time to play with toys rather than video games and watching TV)
Onto another question that the John Clark custom thread reminded me of, rather circuitously. When Clark/Kelly is heading back into Vietnam he's said to be dressed in a camouflaged wetsuit for his trip from the submarine. Do and did such things exist? I imagine they do, but does anyone have a useful way of finding pictures of them, as if I search using Google I either get wetsuits for fish watchers with pictures of coral on them, or camouflaged ones which are sold to members of the public because afaict they look cool.
Does anyone have any proper reference materials? Thanks
