I wish I could have talked to your Grandfather

I do too, I never got to meet him. Everything I know about him came from family members. I built a Dauntless model with my dad when I was young. That model hung in my room in a dive with the air brakes flared for most of my childhood. I’ve had a fascination with air planes since.

A few years back, I got to see the one at the Pearl Harbor museum. I was like a kid in a candy shop looking at that plane and talking to the old vet who flew one.
