Dad flew Thunderbolts over Europe. I have a newspaper clipping from his hometown paper tellin the story of his leading his flight in his plane "Lady Liz IV". When I found it I asked him why IV, he kind of said that 1 thru 3 got back but weren't flyable. And his worst wound was a burn on the coffee pot at the club. Damn fine airplane.

Miss the old man....
