My pardon if there's already a discussion on this, and I've been away for quite awhile. I am now reading The Star Of Africa by Colin D. Heaton and Anne-Marie Lewis about the German ace in Africa Hans Joachim Marseille. This guy was a rouge, but very good with a fighter plane just like Greg...

I just finished reading this book; great story. I found the audio book at the library and was listening to it as I was traveling to and from Las Vegas a couple of months ago and decided to purchase the book from B&N. I'm reminded of a story I once read about The Japanese Ace Saburo Sakai who...

I visited the Midway on a trip to San Diego in August 2006. Would recommend this to anyone traveling there. The admission then was $15.00, but after being up and down and all along the carrier that admission price didn't seem so high. Some good places to eat in that area too.

I know that the RAF was using the P-40, the RAF version being known as the Kittyhawk if I'm correct on this. Was it actually used in the Battle Of Britain? I believe they were in North Africa and have wondered what success it had vs. the German 109's. Didn't USAAF units also fly the P-40 in the...

A friend sent this to me. Also has some vintage music for those into 40's music. Bud Anderson's Website My pardon if this has been posted here previously.

And this may have been the man that bobbysocks and I are referring to. I'm going to try and find this on YouTube.

Wish I remember the episode title; it's probably on YouTube. He did some kind of maneuver that put the Zero's right in front of him and were shot down, and this was a Dauntless, a dive bomber.

Is this from Air Combat - where a pilot ( and not the rear gunner) in I believe a Dauntless managed to shoot down at least one Zero, and while is plane was damaged? I did see this episode.

I've heard different things about how the P-38 matched up to the FW190 and Me109. Some material states that the P-38 was inferior in most ways to both and others say the opposite.

Whichever versions were the most advanced late in the war I guess, in air to air combat.

The Hellcat and Corsair which saw service in the Pacific - as far as I know. How would these have matched up to the German Messerschmidt 109 and FW-190. Always wondered about this.

Got an email from a friend with the news about Gunther Rall. Also this interesting video with Rall and four former American WWII pilots: Fighter Pilot Legends

Her latest parole hearing was conducted yesterday and she was denied so the state of California has no mercy.
