Title: Interesting littl tidbit
Post by: texace on August 26, 2000, 02:08:00 AM
I didn't know what forum to put this in so I'll say it here. The Corsair, being flown by Mr. Avery (?), is number 13, being used by the Confederate Air Force. What I found interesting is, that on my wall in this compuer room, is a picture of my grandpa flying the EXACT same airplane, as he did serve in the CAF for a number of years after he retired from the Marine Corps. My grandfather, Lt. Col. Elbert Price, also flew Corsairs in WWII, ironicly, he flew number 13 <G>. I think he was with the Death Rattlers but I'm not sure. Just some neat info IMHO.

Check our web page Tex it has a link to the "Death Rattlers" web page and you can look up the WWII roster and see if he was in there  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
