Grandads flight ops (bomber command)

[flynlion]

Great stuff guys!

My Grandad was in the US merchant marine, got torpedoed twice trying to get supplies into North Africa and Great Britain (he was an expert swimmer LoL) My other grandfather ran a manufacturing company which helped build engine parts for the F4U Corsair.

I got a buddy here in the states who's great uncle was an officer in the damned SS. They don't talk about him much, but they do keep a photo of him in uniform on the wall. An ordinary soldier is one thing, but SS? Kinda creepy if you ask me. Seems like they would prefer to remember him as a civillian, but I think it's the only picture they have of him.
