| david duke tulsa, OK | Hello. I am a veteran of service with VC62, NAS JAX and have tales to tell and slides. I have also just returned from a visit to the HORNET, now a museum at ALAMEDA, CA. 02/10/2002 @ 12:41 [ref: 4284] |
| Brian Wadsworth Fayettville, NC | Hello There,
I am looking for a print (copy of painting) of the F2H2P. It is the aircraft that my father in law worked on during the Korean war and I would like to present him with a print of one. He served in the Marine Corps as a photographer and also worked on the cameras in the F2H2P. A print or a painting, any light that you can shed on this for me I would surely appreciate. Have a great Day! Sincerely, Brian 05/28/2000 @ 14:18 [ref: 242] |
