That's cool brother, my dad was a captain in the airforce during ww2, and flew a mustang p51. He flew bomber escort over the English channel among other things. I could post pics of his plane the "Jollie Helen" but nobody cares.

One more with my dad. Oddly enough the war didn't kill him, but what did is in this picture. It's right there in his left hand, look close.
