  "An absolutely wonderful collection. I'm not sure what's better: The images that James posts or the brilliant commentary that they generate. So, it's a good thing that they don't make us choose."

  "Back in the late 50's and early 60's I looked for these magazines all the time. My parents thought I I had a sex problem or worse. . .I enjoyed the art on the covers. That is when I began to collect the covers and file them away under different topics. They were a great source of information and ideas while at college. In the early 70's they were lost in a fire and water damage from thr water used to extingush the fire. While living in Monterey CA from 1976 to 2002 I again began to collect different magazines in many of the book store. Thanks for your collection. They do come in handy for a source of information and interest."

  "I, as do many others appreciate the time and effort that X-ray Delta one has put into his photostream. A slice of Americana. This site is a great time capsule. Very progresive and optomistic. The ad's from the past looked toward the future. The ad's of today looked towards the past.This is exemplified in this photostream.Thanks"

  "wow x-ray what a truly amazing collection,since stumbling onto it i have spent hours marveling, in fact i now check for new posts everyday.your sets come from a time when men dared to dream and ads and art had a real richness that is sorely missing these days,although i was born in 76' i have always had an interest in yesteryear especially the 50's and atomic/cold war material. funny now that we are living in the era that a lot of your old sci-fi art and ad's depict i find myself thinking more and more it really was better in the good ole days.keep up the good work. s.s"

  "Thank you for all these images. When I was a kid I was living in Rome (Italy) and I remember my mother bringing home all US magazines and Searrs catalogues on which me and my brother were dreaming. We were cutting off the magazines all our desires and from time to time my father who was a pilot was bringing home from the US one of our dreams.
  Thank you for making me feel like a kid.
  Alex"

  "Thanks for the awesome collection. I love creating 1950s-1960s inspired designs and happen to have some projects that require such designs so researching some inspiration has been easy through your flickr."

  "Esta galería es impresionante. Me paso largo tiempo cada día disfrutandola. Yo residí en EE.UU. desde el año 1958 hasta finales de los 60 y la nostalgia me embarga. Enhorabuena por esta idea de publicar todo este material. Gracias, muchísimas gracias."

  " I find myself visiting x-ray delta one every day.
  It's a blast from the past, a daily nostalgic boost, a sigh for the future that never happened and a rush of OMG! I remember that!, all rolled into one.
  It's a little slice of heaven, right here on Flickr."

  "As the actress Simone Signoret once wrote, "Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be."
  But x-ray delta brings alive, with tongue firmly in cheek, an era which is fun to re-visit. An age in which anything was possible, women were impossibly glamourous, everything was clean and streamlined - and good design ruled."

  "From Maritime Monday on gCaptain:
  
  BOYS AND THEIR TOYS: Cold War Kitsch is all the rage on X-Ray Delta One’s CRAZY ABOUT THE COLD WAR flickr set See Also: Retro Tech, we love PROPAGANDA, Motorola Future, YESTERYEAR- pre WW2, and many others. It’s a celebration of We Like Ike Chic that approaches Bacchanalian proportions. A veritable baby-boomer nostalgia cream dream. Oh, he has a blog, too.

  "If you're looking for the best of the best on flickr look no further! X-ray Delta One always has something new and interesting to boggle at. Subscribe to his photostream feed with your RSS reader of choice and prepare to never be bored.
  
  For graphic designers, pop historians, artistic folks and anyone who likes interesting bits and bobs he has assembled 1,215 wonderful works (as of this writing), all available watermark-less and as large as he can get them! Retrofuturism, popluxe, all stripes of Americana, Rockwell, World War propaganda, cult film posters - all there for the discerning eye!
  
  The one thing to wonder about is how he crams so much awesome stuff into so little time: his account was made July 2009 - that's over 8 high quality and gorgeous images a day!
  
  Thoth, Guardian of Knowledge, heartily approves."
