"Longing for Flight"

I have always loved the P-51, nothing sounds like it when it taxi's by, when it is on a Takeoff Roll, and the truly magnificent sound as it fly's past and goes into a victory role. In WWII this war bird earned it's wings and we are all free because of it, the other aircraft, crews, maintainers, and nearly 20,000 airman that gave their lives over Europe and in the Pacific. If you want to have a hero read the story of SSgt Henry "Red" Erwin, recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor as a radio operator on a B-29 over Japan.
