Default Re: WW2 nose art *caution for younger viewers*

He wouldn't talk about it often, but when he did I listened! They could have made a movie about him. It would have been like a WWII "Top Gun" He was disciplined for buzzing towers, wrecking a P47 on the runway, touching wing tips with his buddy during exercises, etc. When they came to the POW camp to free the occupants they were told to stay there until transportation came, etc. He went into the German offices, found his file (which we still have, all in German handwriting but still neat) then "borrowed" a horse from a village and toured the area. An amazing man as I am sure many others were. Treated pretty poorly in that camp. Said his faith in God is all that got him through it. Sorry to rattle on. This thread just made me think about him and thought I would share a pic. God Bless all our armed forces and their families!
