Cant wait to see and hear your story post on the Thud pilot.
Quote:
Claude Hone was the second pilot to be featured on OGTA. As a Marine in WWII, Claude flew F4U Corsairs from Guam to Tokyo. After the war, he became a founding member of the South Dakota Air National Guard and flew under Medal of Honor holder, Joe Foss.
Yet, Claude's story is not about war. He began a life-long quest for meaning and success through a unique brand of optimism and willpower. He found it, too.
