Yup....I had a few of them. I know the cook.


Hopefully you have some more stuff to post on your dad's WWII history.

The whole book is 250+ pages so there will be plenty more coming. Glad you are enjoying.

Funny, he "poo poo's" the first introduction to the P-47. In theater, became his favorite plane.

WOW

Great thread! Keep it up.

Makes you wonder how many of these histories are still sitting in boxes somewhere...
Sadly, many are broken up on places like eBay, or thrown away. Makes me sick.

Thanks for sharing this!!!
