When I first became interested in War birds was when I saw my first WWII movie when I was a youngster. The first WWII movie I can recall watching was: The Longest Day.
I've always been into aircraft since I was a little kid. My Dad was a fighter pilot in WW 2. But I guess in about 1958 I began collecting books on the era and that was the turning point. 8)
Hi BTG

Impressive Twitch as Evan said what theater did he serve in and where was your dad based? If it was in the uk im in the southeast so may have some local info for you.
My grandfather(1915-1988) was one of the First airliner pilots in the DC-3, then became a transport pilot, but i only really knew something about warbirds 4 yrs after he died B(
what really got me in was that they just looked cool, aircraft are some of the most beautiful things that exist in the world
