Apparently one of my squaddies has 10+ kills in Navy fighters in WWII and flew hiw first combat during Midway.
Anyone know of any other WWII vets in our skies?
boxman my dad flew ww2. and was intel after war he kept list of aces birth dates home towns and kills and types of planes. So he could get home towns to honor these men. I'm sorry to say going thru his list that no one with 10 plus kills PTO. born 1915 is still alive or were navy pilots. list is not that big for navy over 10kills and born 1915.and for 1914 was none.And its hard to believe A doctor would let 94 yearold sit in chair long enough to play aces high. why do you think alot here die of heart attacks. Blood clots 94 yearold could clot in less than a hr. Now in Warbird s my father did play couple of times he was not a ace in ww2 but was hop pilot, his job was to bring planes forward after woman brought them to bases behind our lines. woman were not alowed to bring planes to foreward bases. he would be 82 now if still alive.
uncle morris was ace but only barely. I did show Bob curry ( i might be spelling it wrong) who worked at AIRZOO in kalamazoo Mi as a tour guide( on of few places tour guideds were ww2 and korea pilots} aces high on a laptop. he did try to fly and laughed at me when i asked him if it felt real at all. Bob was youngest pilot to have a kill in ww2 he was 15 and 1/2 years old. if you just said guys first name i could answer u in secs if he really was.
again all i would need is first name not town or anything else.
