Greetings

Hello to everyone. I stumbled onto this site a while back and have been thoroughly impressed. I have always been an aircraft and WWII history buff (my father was in the USAF) and recently a friend brought me along to an Aces Symposium and it rekindled the old interest. I have since been looking for as much information as i can get on pilots and their aircraft, and sharing that information with my son. Being a Marine myself, i have always tended to favor the F4U and the men who flew them. Any way, thanks for the great site guys and i hope i can contribute some.

Welcome Eco if you need specific info I'm sure you stand a good chance of finding it here if it exists.
With the excellent help of Erich and others I found out my Uncles aircraft, mission logs, when and where he came to grief and even the likely name & squadron of the ME 110 Luftwaffe pilot who shot him down. I was not only and am very great full to this site, but besides the odd disagreements & fruit cakes we get, most of the blokes on here are nice guys (apart from me of course, I'm super nice ).
