A FANTASTIC 'ol veteran and wonderful job on restoration. I shore wish I could find one like this.
My dad brought one back after 35 missions over occupied Europe flying B-17s with the 95th BG(H) and more with the 25th BG(SP) in Mossquitos. Even after he was warned that it was prohibited. But he was hurting for cash and trade it off for an Ivers Johnson 22 pistol, as the ammo was cheaper. So I have his 22 instead of his 45. But I can hardly complain - he certainly earned the right to do as he wished.
