    nice

    Great combo photo. I assume big (or little) brother came to the US, enlisted and apparently was on the opposing end with his Germanic family and heritage. It would have been nice to find out more on this dysfunctional family.

                Family ties

                My father in law was a P-51 pilot.His commander led his flight to the village where he was born and let him buzz the village at rooftop level while they circled overhead.Months later his mother got a letter from her sister saying "we saw Richard today" knowing he was a pilot and that no one else would have bothered such a small village.Family gatherings we interesting meeting his cousins who were German pilots and hearing their stories.
