Hey Jack, would you happen to have any photos from this time frame, when they were still flying Wildcats?

Thanks!

No, but a great shot of Butcher Bob Hanson and Al Jensen who destroyed over 25 planes on a single mission with 214 Swashbucklers. To bad they didn't have a PR machine.

OK, you're then cordially invited to post it! :D
I'd be more than happy to see photos of people who spell their last names right ("sen"), since I'm one, too!

If you've never read it, The Threadbare Buzzard by Thomas Tomlinson is an excellent read from someone who was there in the early tours of 214. Tomlinson's writing style is very enjoyable. Not very technical, but often hilarious.
