silverdevil Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 my uncle (mother's brother) served as a pilot in WW2 flying the hellcat. i have a display box with various pics and such. this pic (not great because of the reflection) i have attached is from when he graduated flight training 18 APR 1944. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Air_Station_Melbourne each other flyer signed their names to their pics. pretty cool. unfortunately he died during the war so i never met him. null 12 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.
