    What I got for Christmas

    Hi all,

    I am SO excited!

    I know it's a couple of days late, but I got my Christmas present from my girlfriend yesterday evening (the post office was a bit slow)...

    It was a copy of the USAAF P-51 triple ace Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson's book "To Fly and Fight"...signed by the legend himself with a short note adressed personally to me in the front cover!



    This has got to be the best present I've ever, ever received! It has already got pride of place on my WW2-related bookshelf!

    AH, you better have gotten her something of equal value...say...a diamond ring delivered whilst on one knee...

    Myself, just stocking stuffers (NutterButter bites; two T-shirts "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies!" and "Firefly"; two 5-packs of Mosin-Nagant 91/30 stripper clips) and a couple of PC games from my brother in law (Skyrim and Battlefield3)

    As long as your not the one filling it in I'd say that was an excellent gift.
