Well, I guess we're no longer a Secret Society. 8)

Next thing you know, we'll be in the National Enquirer.

Then we'll be targeted as a potential terrorist organization.

Wait. That's probably already happened.

It's OK, Stephen, we'll just hand you over to the Feds then they'll let the rest of us go

Well I'll be dog-gone. "Combat" is a 2000 publication partly written and edited by Steve Coonts with novellas from 9 other military authors. My contribution, "Skyhawks Forever" is the entry that Gregoire cites. It's a passage involving couple of former A-4 pilots writing an endless epic titled "Duel Over Douai." (Based on fact!)

Unfortunately I think that strategy has some merit.

On a lighter note, perhaps all of us Forumites should start sitting for postcard photographs. I'm sure they'll be a hit. And 85+ years from now a Forumite postcard will be worth... well, probably less than when they were produced.

Hey!! I'm in a book, or rather my website is. In Lieut. Col. Bashow's Knight's of the Air, on page 200 in the endnotes section for end note 128 on Chapter 4, he quotes information I quoted out of The Jasta Pilots, the link is my OLD Enteract address from before I got the billybishop.net domain.

Do you think this means I'll be a target too?

VBR,

Al Lowe
