Only four pilots from that battle still survive.

A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

If you do requests, for the next prop noise post, could you do a Merlin engined Spit? Thanks.
My dad is now 92 and helped crew the 'jeep carrier' or 'Kaiser coffin' USS Corregidor off Okinawi during the battle.
He was also on the 'tin can' destroyer USS Ingraham at the Bikini atoll bomb tests, where the ship was steered right through the fallout (he temporarily lost his hair).
He was a young sailor then so he could be a candidate for last WWII vet as his grandfather lived from 1864-1974, nearly 110 years.
I once knew a Marine who was at Iwo Jima; he enlisted in 1944 at the age of 14. So he'd be 89 or 90, if he's still alive.
