What lovely and thoughtful photos. Thanks Alex!! Yes my father flew them, he also "pranged" a Hurri...and a P-39 in Algeria...and was shot down and had to blow another P-39 at Kassarine Pass....sorta makes him half a German Ace....
Would you believe a coworker just threw away one of those huge War 2 aircraft calendars from last year. One of the pics was a Hawker Hurricane so grabbed it and posted the pic in my home office.
Amazing times those. Much gratitude for the men and women who keep those birds in the air.
