[QUOTE="carleb, post: 1606770, member: 2353"] I know what you mean about not feeling like I've done enough. My uncle, Glen C. Moore (now deceased), flew a P-47 Thunderbolt in WW2 through Italy, France and Germany. He wrote a book entitled [I]Don't Worry Mom and Dad, I'm Okay.[/I] and after reading it I felt like my life has been almost trivial. His book is very limited numbers. I actually doubt it was ever published in any significant numbers. I have a photocopy and then the Nowata and Pryor libraries have copies. I don't know if there are any more that are available. I can't verify it, but in his obituary it said he was an "Ace". I believe that indicates at least 5 confirmed kills. I know this sounds rediculous, but I understand he flew over 100 combat missions. The Army kept raising the mission count to go home and finally there was no mission count to go home and every pilot had to stay until it was over, if you lived that long. That combat mission number I recall is awfully high, so maybe I need to check my info, but I think that is correct. How's that for saying something and then saying I may not have it all correct?:thumbup3: Here's what I do know: He flew a P-47 Thunderbolt in Europe during WW2. He had some confirmed kills. He flew an awesome number of combat missions. and he wrote a book entitled "Don't Worry Mom and Dad, I'm Okay" [/QUOTE]
