My father, Mills Schanuel, an original or "plank" member of VF-17 died Sept. 1.  He was 92.

Thank you for what you do.

Sincerely,

Phil Schanuel


This is the second email I've received from an original VF-17 member's son. It's really touching and brings some reality to the squad in what we feel is just a game. Being able to read about see pictures of these men we consider Heroes and have their sons let us know they appreciate us is beyond what i ever expected when i joined.

<Salute> Mills Schanuel, Thank you for your service.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
