…. .. (hi)
Today, we started at 8 am and drove to the WarHawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho. We got to talk to a guy (Jim Briggs) who was in the turret when his B29 came under fire in WW2 and it took great chunks out of under the turret where he was standing. Don’t worry, they landed in England, the only person that died on that mission was the pilot!
This is a picture of Jim Briggs uniform, and a picture of him while in the Air Force.
We also heard a Retired Colonel of the Air Force talking about our fighters.
The museum had a lot of uniforms (Army, Air Corp, Red Cross, Navy) from both World Wars. It even had a Civil Air Patrol uniform from WW2.
It also had a Faulker V5. (The plane the red baron drove?) But this one was blue!
The coolest thing was an old glider that was used in D Day to land airborne troops.
They also had a Ham CW Key, that said you could use it with morse code but mom wouldn’t let me!
