Country: | For me, it started at a very early age. I was born in 1970, and as a child growing up in the '70's, I remember watching Baa Baa Black Sheep with my parents. Then I saw the movie Midway on T.V. There were some other movies about the air war in Europe that I saw as well, such as '12 o'clock high'.
I also remember my parents building one of the 1/32 scale Revell F4U-1A Corsairs back then, and they hung it up in my room when it was done. Between that, and Baa Baa Black Sheep, is likely why the Corsair has been my favorite plane ever since.
That, and my dad had a collection of books on WWII aircraft, and before I learned to read I'd go through them looking at all the pictures.
I've been an avid scale modeler since about 1986, and I have just over 150 built model planes in 1/48 scale, most of which are WWII subjects. Of that number, about 30 are F4U Corsairs. But I build subjects from all theaters, although my favorite subjects to build have to do with naval aviation from all countries in WWII. | |

Country: | I've been interested in warbirds and military history since my childhood. I have been reading books on WWII and other eras since Elementary school days. I'd always go to the library in school and check out every book I could to read. I have over 500 books so far filling 4 book shelves in our computer room/office. | |

I respect this forum and those who contribute. At 47yrs I fancied myself a bit the sage at WWII aviation, but these guys are serious, huge stores of data, minutia and anecdotes. So I contribute when I can, avoid arguments (I'd lose most of them anyway.) and learn something from this unique coalition of A.C.fans.
My interest in WWII avi began in 65, my older brother built a revell Dambuster and a P40 etc. Then a kid named Jesse moved next door, so reading and model building was how we became pals, he and I built a couple of Revell flying tigers and went tearing down the street, chopping up any imaginary zeros in our path. Its only gotten worse since then.
