How cool!
As I sit here at my computer I can cast my gaze upon a print entitled "Pappy" Boyington Scores His First Victory. I met "Pappy" back on July 4th (1981) at the Bellingham air show & he autographed this print of his P-40 (AVG 1st Pursuit Squadron "Adam & Eve") shooting down a Japanese fighter near Rangoon (Feb 1942) for me.
