glad you guys like this stuff... we Kicked off the 2015 season in Stuart Florida with a visit from Ernest Reid. Ernest and his crew departed Hamilton Field CA on December 6th, 1941 and arrived at Pearl Harbor during the attack. His B-17C was damaged by attacking fighters and caught fire, the result can be seen in the inset photo. One of the crew was killed by strafing fighters as he fled the wreckage. I can't image what he was thinking as he sat in 909.
much appreciated! It's been quite and adventure. There is always a story to tell and pictures seem to do it best. It's why we all share this interest.
Irwin Stovroff and "Cash"...Irwin is a B-24 vet from the 44th Bomb Group and shot down over France. He spent a good part of the war in Stalag Luft 1 in Barth. He spends days with us telling his story. He is one of the nicest and one of the most genuine persons you could ever know.
Mr. Katsaros was shot down over Reims France and taken in by the French Underground. He spent a good bit of time around Paris and Reims before escaping to Spain. Another really cool guy and sharp as a tack.
My trusty D-80 is finally giving out...time to upgrade
