Intro
Hi
my interest is the war in the air; particularly in Europe. I was drawing aircraft before I could write and spend large chunks of my life reading, researching, photographing, drawing, painting and watching WW2 aircraft. I've just rejoined the Guild of Aviation Artists and my ambition is to one day go back to University and finish off my History degree with a Masters focused on the War in the Air over Europe in WW2. Maybe write a book, who knows. I'm always hungry for facts and anecdotes from WW2 veterans and enthusiasts and I hope to gain many of those from this forum

Re: Intro
Sounds like you'll fit right in. Be sure to post some of your artwork. There are plenty of air enthusiasts around who would love to see it.
