Introducing myself

[WalrusRex]

When I was a kid, I read the book Twelve O'Clock High. Beginning several years ago, I tried to find and reread that book. I discovered that the book is rare and expensive. A couple of weeks ago, I did discover a fairly cheap copy and ordered it. It came a few days ago and I am about half way through. It is even better than I had remembered.

Today I was browsing the net for info about the book and came across this site. I have always had an interest in WWII combat air operations. My father was an armorer and ground gunner in the 56th Fighter Group and later volunteered as a gunner aboard B-29s (but the war ended before he actually flew combat missions).

Anyway, I love to talk WWII combat.
