I just revisited this page. That’s really cool! My dad continued in the aviation business after WWII he was a engineer at Lockheed Corp. one project he worked on and was very proud of is the F117 Stealth fighter. He was the director of flight safety. My daughter recently showed me a notebook her grandfather gave to her and it was his war diary. We never knew he had one. he talks about the missions the flew.
