Happy Veterans Day 2022

Thanks to all who served! :cool: On the ground, Sea and Air. Even those Lucky enough to have served in General Custer's old 7th Calvary.

I'm taking my Son Jonathan of the DIY Garage fame to Reno today for a Casino Prime Rib Birthday Buffet Dinner. He was born on Veterans Day 41 years ago.

At the Gold Country Fair this year, a group was handing out Thank You and Welcome home 50th anniversary Vietnam Medallions and bumper stickers to all who served during Vietnam. Whether you served In Country, Germany, Korea, on a ship, or stateside. We all served.

That is so cool!!!
 
I’ve often said that if I had only one type of plane to fight WW2 in I would favor the Corsair for the Pacific Theater and Mosquito for the European Theater. Difficult choice between the two of them.

You would rather fly in a Wooden Mosquito made in Canada than a P51 Mustang, or a P38 Lightning? :rolleyes:

Goal is to win the war. Mosquito bomber was so fast it was almost never intercepted and had the range to hit about any target in Europe. Aggravated the Germans to no end. It could also be retrofitted to be a heavy fast interceptor or ground attack. It filled all niches quite well. P38 and P51 had speed and range, but had neither when hauling bombs.
