Good morning w_over_w.
Drooling is OK, I do it over the "armor" pictures.
This is why I love history - the real stories are much more interesting than fiction. A great ace goes down on his last mission, only to be the right man with the right skills in the right place at the right time to save thousands of POW's from a death march. Incredible.
(Thanks to your posts, Sam, this groundling is slowly learning the history of the Air Force.)
