Re: Fighterpilot
Jeff - How long can a post be? I have several pretty long ones, but they can be cut into tow or more parts, I guess.
Thx,
Dick

Re: Fighterpilot
I don't think there is a limit per se, but you would not want to post exceptionally long novels as they are harder to read in the confines of the forum. Post what you have and we'll look at. If it looks like it needs splitting, we'll talk to you about it and together we'll decide what's best to do.

Re: Fighterpilot
FighterPilot,
During your tour of duty, did you and your squadron host Col Lindbergh? I understand he was making the rounds on how best to mange the fuel/air ratio to increase range of the P-38. I think that his input made the intercept of Yamato's aircraft possible. Your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Fighterpilot
Actually, Col. Lindburgh was hosted by the fifth and thirteenth Air Forces in the mid to late 1943s - before my time.
