Not myself, particularly...but my childhood neighbor was one of the crazies that used to slalom Grasshoppers between telephone poles in between artillery spotting missions. I always though he deserved a promotion to a combat unit...so now's his chance. Jack Rombough's his name, may he rest in peace. Clearly he'd prefer fighters to bombers...but I'll leave that up to you.

1st Lt. Jack Rombough, 358th FG (P-47)

Another name if there is room:

Captain Everett Craft, USAAAF, P-51 pilot in the 8th AF, your choice of squadron.


In reality, Everett Craft was my high school English teacher, an Army medic who was at Omaha Beach on D-Day. His favorite fighter was the P-51.

USAAAF

did I miss one ? or are you saying your english teacher didn't do a good job on you ?

back shortly

Capt Everett Craft, 339th FG (51 B)

LOL I was going to say, I got a soft spot for Corpmen, so made him a Capt

Oopps! An extra "A"!

He did a decent job. I'm a writer and have managed to make a marginal living at it.

Good glad to hear

yea, just one extra, funny, most people don't even know it was the USAAF, but a times are a changing

My father, Lt. William C. Lott. He was a navagator with the 854th Sqn (B-24) of the 491st Bombardment Group (H) The "Ringmasters". He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross in WWII & he also served in the Korean War, retiring in 1963.

1st Lt. William C. Lott, 491st BG, in

1st Lt. William C. Lott, 491st BG, in

Thank you Hard Sarge. I'm looking forward to the game.

hey, sarge, just noticed the thread.

Add a "J. Byron Starr", if you don't mind. Fighter pilot would be nice, but I'm not picky. Any old rank will do; 2nd lt, I guess.

Also, I knew a Frederick Davis Jr. who flew in the 56th FG (I think that was the unit) in Korea. He was one of America's first black jet fighter pilots after integration; he was also the only black man in his unit at the time. He died last year; I figure he'd be tickled to be added one war early if there's room in his old unit. If not, maybe add him to the Tuskegee units. He may haunt us for that, though. He was rather proud of his unit.
bs

If space is left: David McLeod - any allied although I would prefer P-38's if available [:D]

1st Lt. Frederick Davis Jr. 56th B FG

2nd Lt. J. Byron Starr, 356th FG

2nd Lt. David McLeod, 71st FS, 1st FG (P-38 H)

Suggested filler name to honor a friend:

Joseph Orsini, 1st LT USAAF, P-47 pilot (unit your choice)

My friend's real name is Jessica but they didn't have women in the AF back then! In real life she was in the Air Force and served in Desert Storm. I'd like to honor her in the game.

1st Lt, Joseph Orsini, 358th FG

This is s cool idea.

Jeffrey Weitkamp - US please. fighter if possiable.

2nd Lt. Jeffrey Weitkamp, 79th FG (P-40F)

Hard Sarge,

Lt Col Andrew Curtis {retired} passed away this morning. Thank you for adding his name into your game. I've told his family. We think it wonderful.

Thank You
Stephen E Hood

Sorry to hear of his passing

Suggestion:
 
William A. Audeh, RAF, rank your choice but an officer please, Spitfire pilot somewhere in the Mediterranean.
 
My uncle, grew up in Palestine and Libya during World War II. His favorite aircraft was the Spitfire.
