I'll start. there were singers in the 30s and 40s that all the young girls in the states used to swoon over. part of these teenage girls "attire" were a type of socks know as bobbysocks. the singers whom these girls adamantly followed were thus dubbed as bobbysocks singers or bobbysocksers. frank sinatra, when he started out was one of these. when my father was 18 and joined the usaaf he was a skinny little fart and somewhat resembled sinatra ( although he never could see the resemblance). so someone bestowed the name Bobbysocks on him and it stuck. so when i started flying ww2 ac online i felt it appropriate to use that as a game tag.

who's next??

[WildBoar44]

The name WildBoar44 ? Well this is realy corny but its true...

44 because I used to race moto-x from a kid to before injury sidelined that around 30. 44 was a number I always raced with or 144 / 441 / anything with 44 in it.

WildBoar.?...well like all kids when i grew up , i would build Airfix model aircraft and hang them from my bedroom ceiling. the collection grew over my young years..Spitfire..Hurricane..Typhoon..Bolton Paul Defiant.. LANCASTER...oh lovely big beast...P51D...Halifax...ME109....

Then one day my Aunt bought me a plane never realy noticed before..as i built it, the shape, the lines, the grace suddenly came together to form one of the best looking aircraft i had ever seen, I could not stop getting out the bed in the night to look at it...when it was finished and painted..one last detail was two little transfers to put on the engine cowling.. They were the cartoon dipiction of a WildBoar's head... The Aircraft....The FW190...

When I played the Campaign for the first time i suddenly remebered those memories....So when it was time to Sign up on-line it had to be Wildboar.............Oh I just wish the FW190 in BoP could turn with the best
