Last weekend I got to meet a gal who coowns an electronics repair shop in Missouri. At the time she wanted to write a children's book about veterans. So in walks this old guy wearing a ballcap with a Corsair on it asking if she can fix his lamp.
You a vet she asks.
Yes m'am, US Marine aviator, I flew in WW2.
To make a long story short, he opened up to her after she explained about the children's book she was trying to start. They become friends, he shows her his keepsakes including his flight logs. She looks up the serial numbers of the planes he flew and bingo, Chino Air Museum in Calif has one of his planes. Since he is to fragile to fly now money is raised to fly his plane to him.
During all this, she reconnected him with his copilot, who in a rarity was his copilot the entire war. The photo of the planes are the two of them. The news segment is nominated for a Grammy.
