There are some crazy users on Flickr, and crazy means crazy in the best possible way, who like to share vintage images. Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy likes to share “some” stuff: almost six thousand of images divided in 90 sets and counting. It’s a paradise of 1940s and 1950s pictures, navy images from around the world, WWII images, pulp book covers, posters and more memorabilia. Among all those cool stuff, here are a list of suggestions (according to the posts of this blog). (via PCL LinkDump)
