My favorite plane of that era is the P-38.

I think that the huge Broadway hit "South Pacific" had a lot do with popularizing tiki culture.

Tikis and military adventure in WWII do seem to go together.

I do remember the last time I went to the Officers' Club at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, there were two big giant tikis flanking the entrance, along with a few torches. An excellent use of taxpayers' money, in my humble opinion. The tikis and the balmy night and the white naval uniforms went together quite as naturally as ice cream does with cake.
