Your background picture suggest the 483rd was an England based B17 Group as part of the 8th AF.  in fact she was part of the 15th  AF working out of Italy.  Might want to look for some better representative photos of actual 483rd BG birds

There is nothing worse than going to a website that jams music down your throat.

I was intrigued by the picture, but once the music started ... I closed the window immediately.

GL with the website, it takes time and energy. If your squad likes it, good enough I would think.

He did what was asked.  Gave his opiniion on the website. Nothing wrong with that. You liked the music, he didn't. No need to get cranky about it.

Its a good start, the music though reminds me of The Vietnam era. i would have some WWII era music to fit in with theWWII designed site and era, the rest looks great just keep plucking away when i was building sites i always went back and made minor tweaks all the time. :salute

It's annoying when background image repeats, or is cut off (depends on the windows size).

Make it re-sizable with css, example: img.background{width:100%;}

Good effort. I'm sure you'll be tweeking it alot, but I think it's definately better than anything I could put together. The "play" button for the music is a good idea. I agree with an earlier poster: ought to be WWII Era music, don't ya think, for the type of site it is? Would really add a feeling of nostalgia. Although I like your current selection for general listening. Seems like you are sincere in creating not just a cool squad site, but a really proficient squad, too. I wish you well in that endeavor. :salute

One thing to keep in mind with things like embedded music and some of the other bells and whistles.  At first it may seem like a neat little feature to have or it may add a feel or ambiance to the site you have to imagine what the website is going to be like on the 10th, 50th, 100th, visit for a particular user.  Things like music are often better left off by default, and allow the visitor to turn it on if he/she wants. 

Good luck with the website.

Look good if this your first.  Didi you looked at other squad sites to get an idea.  If not, suggest you should and may find some other ideas to add or change.  The musice is a nice touch but i would suggested to add the time era music instead.
