I've been a WWII buff since I was a kid. Both of my grandfathers were in WWII and I grew up with their stories. After College I started a WWII patch business and did that for nearly 13 years. I transitioned in to flying around 2003. Working for the Collings Foundation, I was type rated as PIC in the B-24, B-17 and B-25. I began flying the P-51 in 2010 and have over 1,400 hours flying several Mustangs. I am back to painting full time, my website is spiritof44.com.
