Some great photos there.

My first few flights when I was but a wee tot were on a Gooney Bird belonging to Southern Airways.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

You're Dad also with the mighty Eighth? My stepdad was in England, near Norwich with a B17 outfit.

Yes, he was. They flew the Hump in a C-47. I don't know exactly what unit and where all they were though. He never talked about it much. But somewhere at my Mom's, there is an 8^th shoulder patch I plan to hold on to.
