WWII Blurb on my uncle.

[Jmetz]

Been going through my moms basement and came up on a bunch of my uncle Charlie's stuff. He was a fighter pilot with the 8th AF in WWII. Found a book that my Grandma kept of WWII news articles relating to him and his fighter group/squadron. Below is a picture of him and an article in which he was interviewed. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Man, that is one sweet bit of history. Very cool to have something like that passed along to you.

I could only image the adrenaline rush he must have had. Badass dogfight I am sure! Thanks for sharing

Nice picture and story of your uncle. I'd like to see him in a Thunderbolt. Awesome airplane but didn't get the glamorous rep the P-51 did.

If someone was to offer me a WW2 Warbird, I would want a Jug or an F6F.

There were only a few pics in the book but no P-47. I thought him in the P-40 was pretty damn cool though. I'm sure we'll find more as we continue to sort through.

No doubt the P-40 pic was cool. Especially all sharked up! If you find a P-47 photo, please post it up.
