Great work!!! and great planes. Our pharmacy professor was a WWII corsair pilot, in the Navy on a carrier. As all of you know, there were some problems initially with carrier landings, later resolved. Many of my classmates were active protesters of the Vietnam War and when they brought it to class he said, "when you see what the enemy did to our men, you'll understand I couldn't wait to drop bombs and napalm on them as fast as I could. Don't bring this to my classroom until you have fought in the war." Right or wrong, that was the end of that. I always think of him when I see these great planes and the "Greatest Generation."

My brother flew these beauties in WW2 off the aircraft carrier Lexington, which I believe currently sits in Corpus Christie, Tx.

I understand his point, but, they were not the same wars. My Dad and I had this discussion, he and I were both in the First Inf. Div., he in WW II and I in Viet Nam. He agreed they were different and he would have felt differently about it.
