When did I become interested in WWII...I can't really say. I was a history buff for as long as I can remember.
My father was an Ensign on the USS Donner, which, to my knowledge, was the first Landing Ship Dock in the US Navy. Maybe one of the first. Anyway, the only action he ever saw was when he was commanding a 5 inch gun and almost shot down a target plane! He then transfered into submarines after the war, but was discharged as they didn't need a lot of submarines in Korea.
Well, that's my story! Thanks for reading!
