Showcasing America's finest, and those who betray them!

Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.

We here at Blue Stars For A Safe Return are working hard to honor all of our military, past and present, and their families. Inlcuding the veterans, and POW/MIA's. I feel that not enough is done to recognize the past efforts of the veterans, and remember those who have never been found.

I realized that our Veterans have no "official" seal, so we created one as part of that recognition. To see what it looks like and the Star that we have dedicated to you, the Veteran, please check out our site.

I wonder if Sqd Ldr Wade was flying an Airspeed Oxford and not an Auster when he crashed. The only Austers I could find in a brief search are all single engine aircraft much like a Piper Cub.

The Airspeed Oxford was a small twin engine aircraft that was used for bomber training, light transport duties and the like. Similar to a twin engine Beech. Hmm will have to try and look further into this.

Nice WW-II color shot, I think, of a Hurricane Mk IV, Also known as the "Flying Can Opener"

And here is a shot a Spitfire Mk Vb taking off. Note the Polish insignia on the lower edge of the engine cowl.

All for now, have to get my nap in as I have to work tonight.
