Very nice, though there is a problem with the HTML after the DEDICATION heading

Thanks Chuck for introducing Charlie's story. Very interesting reading and
photos.

One of the photo contributors Chuck Hebbell has a photo of a He-111
crashed in Bastia Harbor, Corsica. Although the caption says "He-111?"
the ? speaks for itself...

and a blow-up of the same photo...a honking big hole in the background
freighter...
http://charlies-web.com/WWII_med/combatpic04.html

I'm pretty certain the aircraft in question sank rather than crashed there,
an Italian floatplane.. the (FIAT)CMASA RS.14, a reconnaisance or
torpedo/bomber version of the same type..can't tell without seeing the
belly for the weapons gondola or lack of one...

I wonder if the hole in the freighter had something to do with the damage
to the RS.14?


With Mr. Dills experiences in flying P-40, A-36 and P-47 he offers a
bombastic opinion of the Jug and Navy round-engined machines...
"The P-47D was not a combat airplane..." , he-he-he, let the fur fly :roll:
