When my grandfather was born the furthest a plane had flown was shorter than the length of a 747. The second time he crossed the Atlantic he arrived aboard a 747.
Carl, Just perused your July posts….so impressive as always….love your WWI Airplanes & Aces! I think of you & “I Know I Made You Smile” from time to time. We have been struggling here. We went from moving into a new townhouse in April, which was an exhausting experience in itself, to wife Geri coming down with diverticulitis mid-May. It’s been a painful struggle for her ever since. She will have surgery in the weeks to come to remove the bad section of the intestine. Best to you always. May you be well. Send us some prayers. Phil
Sorry to hear that. Have had 4 attacks of that over the years. Very painful – could not even stand up straight. Fortunately antibiotic and pain pills and no surgery for me. Will certainly include you and Geri in prayers.
Actually I don’t have the stamps. It took several weeks of research to find them, copy, download then size them uniformly and then transfer to these pages. I think I have every WW 1 warplane stamp ever manufactured world wide on these pages. That’s how exhaustive was the search.

Impressive collection, my Dear Carl! I am limited to a few pictures of the Spitfire, the only name I can remember of that time. 🙂

My father had been in the Royal Indian Air Force, during its last days! …You can see the connection between Yours truly and Britain’s Spitfire! 🙂
