I agree. The history stuff is interesting but highly speculative to
say the least. Sorting it out can try your patience for sure. I
remember Bader telling me about one "historian" who cornered him one
evening and proceeded to TELL him about an air battle he had been in
personally. When Bader tried to correct the man on a certain detail
he personally had experienced, the "historian" argued with him that
he (Bader) was wrong! :-))


Beautiful. It's realy interesting talking to those guys. I haven't
met one in a long time, now, though.. They'll soon be all gone.. I
did meet a B-50 pilot at a party not too long ago. He was interesting
to talk to alright. Pretty old!

We're losing a lot of our last flying generation each year.


Yep

Have you guys seen the book "America's Hundred-Thousand"? It is about
the USA fighter production in WWII. Very good...
Also, have you seen any of the EAA 'voices' or whatever it is they call
it; the recordings and stories from the guys (and gals) who were there.
Also very good...


Haven't seen that but it sounds like a fine idea.
