I HOPE I fit here, not any of the listed branches in the question, but I retired from the USCG in 2008. I was pretty lucky, got aviation tracked after the academy, flew the HH-52A, HH-3F, HC-130, and the HU-25.

Just checking in. I have been an avid student of this particular era of aviation, particularly the Pacific theater, since boyhood. I love flying and have been fortunate to have flown over a fair portion of the Pacific. Looking forward to learning from the members here.

I chose the Corsair. Not only because it had the longest production run of any fighter of the era, into the 1950s, but the unique design was an elegant solution to a problem and my main interest is in the Pacific theater.
