A Bridge Too Far, by Cornelius Ryan. Great book, I also had the chance to go to Arnhem 2 years ago when my parents and I were on vacation. Bought the book from the museum

We also visited Bastogne + most of the little neighboring villages. My dad and I went to Foy, and there are still overgrown foxholes in the woods. It's amazing

I also like learning about military history. i wrote a 16 page paper on WW1, WW2, Vietnam, and current conflicts for my final research paper (end of 11th grade). specifically, i like learning of weapons, vehicles, and definately aircraft throughout time. History and Military Channels ftw.
I've read only a few books tho, last one was Flyboys. great book, a bit gruesome at times, but good.

I'm not a BUFF, but I'm a fan of the WWII era weapons / vehicles / engagements / the people involved. I did do a report on Patton once. A thing that stuck in my mind was that he urinated on the territory he had conquered...Or something like that.

Anyone interested in history should check out Harold Lamb's work.

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 page. Clean and simple. Something about the boxes on the right hand side look a bit off to me, but that's just personal opinion. Maybe it's just because they don't have a gradient like the main content.

Ran your site through a validator, and you only came up with one error:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% … e&ss=1

Fix that, and you can put this nifty button on your site:

They'll give you the code for it, and you can affix it somewhere for people to click on to see that you are indeed nerdy enough to care about clean writing.

I doubt that she will do that now, that they no longer visit this site.

Well, regardless...W3C validation is a cool service.
