I found this amusing. I guess these are things a boy in 1943 was expected to learn, including how to spot enemy aircraft in the sky. But kids were expected to learn how to do stuff. Not have their parents do everything (are you hearing me Blob Junior and Blob Junior II????). Am I the last generation that got woodworking in elementary school? I am pretty sure neither of my kids have ever used a real hammer or a saw (and, of course, I am to blame, they watch me and I'm convinced they will lose a finger...yet my father had me using chainsaws and other power tools at 12, not to mention piloting a motor boat on my own at 11) [And as a New Yorker, I always find it amusing that nearly all of these businesses that sold karp out of comics were in New York. Heck, we actually used to make stuff here.]
