    What Are You Reading

    Daniel Boone Frontiersman: Daniel Boone and the Making of America by Meredith Mason Brown My wife bought me this for Christmas - I'll start reading on a plane trip this Friday. Old Dan'l was a hero of mine as a child (from books not the TV show -though I did enjoy that, too).

    Early War Birds or Late War Birds?

    Sheesh, that should be P-39. Also like the Hawk 75. Look at the Japanese planes, too. Claude, 'Zero', Betty, Rafe... Great planes! And who doesn't love the Stuka, Storch, ME109 or FW190?

    What size brim do you prefer

    1 7/8" to 2" My face is to thin and nose to long to go over 2 1/4". Usually use a center crease (cause of my classic roman nose), but I'm starting like how I look in a diamond crease. Couv
