Check out the third photo of Lt. Edwin Wright, he wasn't called lucky for nothing.

The other photos and stories are interesting as well, even if a number of them aren't of American airmen.

How lucky do you have to be to die of lung cancer aged 34?

Thanks for posting, Jon,
Interesting background information.
I was intrigued by the plotting room boards, wonder whether they were coded, or deliberately mangled, so as to avoid interpretation.
Odd, as I've seen wartime photos of RAF boards showing intelligible notes.

They're written in American, Mike... Maybe that's why they look all mangled... to you.
I understand them perfectly.

By the way ... Do you have one of those helmets with antlers in your Museum?

No but I do have a Joepoker, matter of fact, it's heating up in the fire as we speak.

OK This has gone. entirely. too far ...Ben!!

[Airspeed]

NO, BEN!
I was only Jopoking, really!

Sleep tight, hope the bedbugs don't bite.

... Nor the spiders, you, Mike.

btw. How did that bite of yours heal up?


Mine healed up rather nicely considering I took care of it myself . maybe it's because I ate all my veggie when I was a boy, or maybe . because I'm just rough and tough and hard to bluff.

We're both Healers, Joe, haven't performed any miracles lately, though.

[airboatr]

Considering how we started our relationship. We're not so bad off, now.
Perhaps we could say that is a half of a miracle anyway.
