  | Yea, I was suprised myself. I actually thought you were yanking my chain. Nicely done - you should go far in life.

| Guys, guys... You were not paying attention. As far as I recall Christian (Doughboy) said he is 12 years old during one discussion early on when he joined the forum few months ago... I agree with posts above, it serves your credit for showing interest in aviation and actively participating the forum. Keep that way Christian.

| First interest Hi everyone, I first became interested in warbirds a long time ago, almost 40 years I guess. However I did nothing about until 12 months ago when I met an arrogant know it all who was convinced that a Lancaster Bomber had crashed in the village in England where I grew up. I made a few enquiries just to prove him wrong but never expected to prove him so wrong! It was a B17G called the 'Tenny Belle' which went down in April 1944 only the navigator survived but then only to perish on his next mission. With a bit more digging I managed to find the nephew of the radio operator and together we have been piecing bits together about the crew members and their families. I have tried to get information from the official archives in the US but as I am not a direct descendant (son/daughter widow etc) they are not able/willing to help me. Does anyone out there know of another source where I can find out more about the 'Tenny Belle' and her crew? Anyhow since then I have become obsessed/addicted/fixated with anything military that flies, floats or kicks ass really. Dasha |

| Welcome to the forums, Dasha...glad you were able to prove the "know-it-all" wrong! Heck of a way to start off your appreciation of WWII aircraft, but we all got to start somewhere!
