I didnt say you had that computer for months...tell me where I said that...I said I bet its been your wallpaper for months, meaning it could spam across several different computers regardless...

I first got interested when I first saw a program on the history channel about Greg Boyington. I also thought that the Corsairs they flew were beautiful. After that I started drawing them. Nothing to brag about though.

By the way, I have a question. Who was the pilot of Shangri-la? Ive seen that all over the place, but I could never figure out the pilot.

I first got interested in them when I was sat on my toilet, have a ye olde dump, reading a magazine with naked women in it. Back in 1993, I believe April 16th. I thought to myself "World War 2 aircraft, now there's a thought" and I've been thinking that thought ever since.

Not sure really, became interested in WW2 generally and then read Bader's biography and it sort of stemmed from there and I've been interested in them ever since.

Youre 17 right (or 18?) Meaning you would have been reading that mag at the age of 8/9!

Since you have posted the real reason already, I have nothing to do but assume that you're completely pissed, and request that you stay away from me during this evening on the site for fear of completely spamming the forums again!

It was Major Don S. Gentile. 8)

Feeling a little smug, are we?

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Nah, I partially knew it, but to be sure I googled it...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Anyone could do that

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

But I had advance knowledge...


I typed in Don Gentile and it said he was the pilot of Shangri-La...


If I had typed Shangri-La, it would have taken longer...

[lesofprimus]

I knew it was Don Gentile as soon as I saw the post.. Unfortunatly, I just saw it this second......

 

[plan_D]

I could read at 8/9 just because it has naked women in it...

No, if I was really drunk I wouldn't have been that good at typing. Maybe I got someone else to type it? You will never know.
