So if your a hot shot pilot or under appreciated bomber pilot; what would be the name of your beauty? I would be in a P 51 D with Lucille on the side.

Funny you should say that. My Grandmother's name was Lucille. I have photos of her when she was in her twenties and she was quite attractive in her youth. I have no doubt that had my Grandfather been a pilot instead of the Seabee that he was, she would surely been painted on the nose of an aircraft.

I would have been a 109 pilot towards the end. My planes name would have been something along the lines of "Hope"

He did, in a general way. I was pretty young, so I think I was given the G rated version of things.
When my Grandmother passed a few years ago, my father let me go through several cedar chests that were in my grandparents basements. They arefull of highly organized photo albums. My grandmother always had a camera in her hands when I was a child. Apparently, she devolped the habit very young. She was also a very early scrap booker. There are albums that have photos of my grandfather at the train station leaving on his way to Pearl Harbor. There are pay stubs. Even a pack of Camel cigarettes that he had bought at the base exchange (or whatever they were called in 1942) in Hawaii and sent home. The cigarettes have always been a bit of a mystery in the family since we discovered them, since neither of my grandparents ever smoked cigarettes that we know of... In fact, my grandmother was diagnosed with TB during the war and was isolated for just over a year at one point. Dad still remembers the lady who he had been sent to live with taking him and my aunt and uncle to the sanitarium (what they called the TB ward) to visit on Sundays. They would stand in the yard and my grandmother would come to a second floor window to talk with them for awhile. Both of my grandparents had a slightly wicked sense of humor. We think that the pack of cigarettes may have been a joke between them while GG (what we called her when I was young) was in the TB ward. Eventually, my grandfather was granted a hardship discharge and allowed to come home to care for his three kids and sick wife.
The two of them were almost never apart after that. My grandmother's hair went white at a fairly young age, perhaps a result of her health issues. My grandfather drove her to the hair dresser every week and dutifully waited while she had her hair colored. When I was a kid I once asked him if that was boring, he told me he liked watching her get beautiful. They celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary shortly before my grandfather passed. My grandmother passed a few years later, both lived well into their 90s...
I try to treat my wife like my grandfather treated my grandmother. I hope to have the marriage they had.
I'll save it for another time, but they both enjoyed telling the story of how they first met.

No, his name was Ray. But I can tell you that my grandmother loved watching "I Love Lucy"...

I never really thought about this, I don't normally name objects even if I really like them. I know people often name planes but for some reason I never done it, I usually just call it a Diamond when I fly (which is it's actual name). I guess this is because I think of planes (and cars) as more of an extension of my body than a machine or a friend.

P-38 Tim

Best ever name for a WW2 combat bird was found on a 506th FG Mustang based on Iwo Jima. It so catches what these birds do to us. I haven't come up with a nicer more appropriate name for a WW2 fighter yet. Cactus skinned this one for is in game too.

The pilot who named the Enchantress was lost in another 51 during a storm on June 1, 1945 that was the worst mission for the Iwo 51s. 20+ Mustangs were lost in bad weather. The Enchantress was not flying that day. The guy on the wing is the squadron doctor. He'd sent photos home of the plane to his wife.

Sad, but good to connect the pic with a tiny bit of the story. :frown:
Wonder what the image was of, between the Dr. and the exhaust? (the circle with the paint missing)

For me, probably a P-47 called Monique's Teddy with the picture of a Polar Bear on it.
Reason being, cause my girlfriend's name is Monique and she tends to call me her Polar Bear (I'm pale white, slightly fuzzy, and I love the cold to the point of snowboarding shirtless.)

P47 off coursenamed Poulette with a school girl jumping in the air showing her underwares. :huh
