I don't have to fly missions in WW2 to know that deliberately and repeatedly
disobeying a direct order reflects badly on any officer who condones the
activity. That was as true in the AAC then as it is now in the USAF.

So why wasn't the man disciplined after deliberately and repeatedly defying
a direct order?


Haven't figured this out by now?...hell, it never happened, it's
a 'story' (sound familiar?). Art just thought it'd make a cute
little story that a few might believe that's all.

Are you telling us that Art is telling "There I was" stories? "Flat on my back
at 10,000 feet while trying to dive bomb the..."?

Well, let's put it this way, as Judge Judy says "You lie to me
once and I'll doubt every word you say after that".

Both Brooks and George Z caught Art lying. No doubt about it.

What's your take on that?. I know what mine is.

Doesn't Art claiming to be telling stories create a sort of disclaimer?

I don't think so John, he's always berating everyone for having
no wartime experience and he's talking about his crewmembers
here, even using their names. I think he meant for us to believe
these stories.

As to the 'volunteer' business, he's always knocking people for
not 'volunteering like he did' then he let it slip that his call
up noticed arrived on his 18th birthday.

Brooks and George took him to task and suggested that he had
gotten the Army call up then immediately beetled off and signed
up for a flying job. Which he probably did. But he won't admit
it.

Art's milking this for all it's worth thinking that it'll gain
him hits on his web site (that's why he's 'un-filtered' Brooks)

Acording to Art, it is working.

Are there prizes to be gained with hit numbers on a web site?

Maybe I need to add some "adult content" to jazz up my pages
and win...something???

There is no value in hits on a website per se. But the more that visit the site
the more information is being shared in what happened in the war. The more
flames I get from the bottom feeders the more hits I get. I have over 47,000
hits now and in time there will be 100,000 hits,. That is far more exposure
than most books ever get and that means the story of the 344th can be spread
even wider. And that as why the website exists. It is about the 344th and its
glorious battle record.It is a repository of history that should never be
lost.. The more readers the better.

Same as yours and a bunch of the long term lurkers around here.
