Got back last night and all I can say is what a blast. This was the largest collection of WWII warbirds I have ever seen in one place, and they all flew...except for the P-47
David Ails hosted 5 pilots whom he did art work for, dad being one of them. People could buy the prints he made and have the pilots sign them. It was an amazing opportunity to meet these other pilots. My son Luke was a little blown away when he figured out he, as he puts it,he, "Lives with a celebrity" .
Here is dad signing an autograph book for another youngster and talking with him about his experiences.
Here is one of 2 prints David made commemorating the events of December 13 1943 when my dad was awarded the Silver Star. He went up against 63 enemy airplanes by himself in his P-40 Lulu Belle
Here was the last remaining B29 passing over the run way
Here is another shot of it
Here is one of the B-25's
