Those are cool photos. The war in the Pacific was savage. My fathers friend used to tell me stories of his exploits. He was shot down twice. Once flying supplies into China over the mountains, while transporting gold, the other time over the Philippines.
He was in a POW camp and was nearly executed before a guerrilla raid saved him and his buddies.
One thing though, that first photo. I didn't realize you had African American ancestors.
