Thanks Steve!

When we do it with our heart and soul, guess that it become good in all senses.
It is not a commercial work, but for posterity. The whole Family contributed with documents and photos, letters, etc...We then covered all aspects of his amazing career.

If you do consider that, at the start or beginning of WW2, Cosme Lockwood Gomm did have more flying hours than "Percy" Pickard and the former CO of 78 Squadron (whose name by heart I forgot) we do have something to think about. By circa mid 1943, he had more flying hours than the famous Guy Gibson.

Gomm flew in more than 82 models by the time of his death...registering something around 2,800+ flying hours. We covered with images ALL models he flew in, including managing to find the exact serial number and photo of the planes he flew.

Really a Tribute to a forgotten hero down here...

I am grateful to SEVERAL members of this BOARD who have me through the years in achieving this milestone in my own life.

Yours,
Adriano
