Hello. My name is Jim and I live in Texas. I was too young to fly in WWII (born in 41) but I always wished I could have. My cousin was a waist gunner on a Fort in Europe and I used to listen to his stories by the hour along with the ones my uncle told me about the kamikaze attacks on the destroyer he was on in the Pacific.
I used to fly privately. I have about 300 hours, much of it in taildraggers. I had a photo business in the 70's and photographed, among other things, airshow performers, and Arabian horses. My photos made the cover of Trade-A-Plane 3 times, I guess that was my biggest accomplishment in that field. Probably the most fun I had was when I owned 1/2 of a Citabria, a really fun airplane. I did take a couple of lessons in a two hole Pitts. That was fun, too, but it was expensive and the wife didn't approve.
I'm retired and living in Texas now. I like to write and do digital photography. I've been to the Confederate Air Force Museum in Midland, TX a number of times and drooled over the warbirds there.
Greetings and best regards to all.
