Hey there everyone.

I have just completed a website about a Second World War Flight Officer.
I've been researching his life for the past 8 years.
Please take the time to visit!

Nice to see someone else who likes military history. About the website, sure it could be better. Everything could always be better, but nothing is perfect unless a critic wants to top the amount of time and energy I have put into this project.. and then we'll see if it's any better.

Good effort Kimmy. I am a military historian ... I've been studying it seriously for five years now. I have a BA in Military History, an MA in International History and am currently reading for a PhD in Military history. My specialist area is the concept of air superiority and its practical use between 1914 and 1945. I have written work on the RAF, Luftwaffe and USAAF. My thesis is a comparative history of US and British approaches to Air Superiority. However, if I see another archive over the next few months it will be too soon

Me loves military history, quite a history channel nerd over here.

Even have newspaper the day Japan surrendered and ended WWII. It cost 39 dollars from an antique store, so I'm not sure if it's authentic or not, but it sure as hell looks cool.

I found an interesting book. "The Blitzkrieg Myth" (can't remember how to underline...D'OH) It was quite interesting. I, unfortunately, did not finish it because I lost it while packing to move.
