I'm ready too ! I once read a description of Lindbergh's first landing on a carrier in a F4U !!  I wonder if a video of that is available ? For those who don't know ,Lindbergh was the most noted anti-war figure in the USA before the war .But when the war started he worked for an aircraft company and flew combat missions to find how aircraft handled in combat situations !  | |||

Great historical footage! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate. Do not be uneasy about me, for I am with my friends." ----- David Crockett in his last letter (to his children), January 9th, 1836 "I will never forsake Texas and her cause. I am her son." ----- Jose Antonio Navarro, from Mexican Prison in 1841 "for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

Had a very good friend that flew one of these things very late in WWII and during the Korean condflict. I can stll hear him telling how he was a 19 yr old ensign sitting behind 2200 hp swinging a four bladed prop carrying 6 .50 cal guns and a rack full of rockets, then saying, "Man, I was somebody!" Pretty well sums up most all the fighter pilots I have ever known! RIP, old warrior, we miss you! Best regards, trapperP | |||
