There is a man (I believe his ID is Wildcat) who claims to be a WWII vet. Haven't seen him on lately.

I believe that may be who it was flying with us. Dan seemed to know him pretty well. He seemed a gentleman through and through. We all had alot of fun. Was quite some time a go.

"Vilkas" is a WWII vet. IIRC he was around 14-15 at that time so he's 80ish.

I hate to be the cynic here, but I don't buy the "Wildcat was at Midway, over" story without some proof.  Too many "I own a B-17" boasts or "I'm a Medal of Honor winner" stories on the intardnet.

My apologies if I'm mistaken.  At the very least, I want to hear some stories.
