My husband's father, Will Chard, flew at the end of WWII and through Korea. He flew the following planes:

  • Hellcats
  • Wildcats
  • Bearcats
  • Corsairs
  • Banshees

I haven't meant to ignore him. It's just that I get so involved in my dad's stuff. Someday I promise to scan in some of his photos, etc. and share them with all of you. He flew from aircraft carriers. That is always impressive to me.

 

I still have one of his jackets that he so kindly gave to me a few years before his death. He knew I would appreciate it. He got that straight! :pdt34:

 

Ah, finally posted a photo! 05-25-2009
