| I am new here and like this forum.
When I first became interested in War birds was when I saw my first WWII movie when I was a youngster. The first WWII movie I can recall watching was: The Longest Day.

| I've always been into aircraft since I was a little kid. My Dad was a fighter pilot in WW 2. But I guess in about 1958 I began collecting books on the era and that was the turning point.

Country:  | My grandfather(1915-198 was one of the First airliner pilots in the DC-3, then became a transport pilot, but i only really knew something about warbirds 4 yrs after he died B(
what really got me in was that they just looked cool, aircraft are some of the most beautiful things that exist in the world
