History and the Fickle-Finger-of-Fate...

I know of a case in California where the widow of a WW-2 fighter pilot married [12 years later] a naturalized German who now owned a local VW dealership. He also was a fighter pilot during the war.

Years later, when some of the first husbands buddies came by to visit, [and the war stories were being told] it was discovered that the new husband had become an Ace on the same day that her first hubby was downedÃ¢?Â¦..and, they were both fighting in the same general area.

It is a SMALL WORLD!
