EDITORIAL A SHOT ACROSS THE BOW SWAMP GHOST DVD & TOURS |
--------------------------------------------------------
1. EDITORIAL - In Memory
-------------------------------------------------------
This update focus on several recent happenings. Also, special offers for the holidays.
This past September a group of tourists, including myself walked to the famous B-17 "Swamp Ghost". We recieved a traditional welcome, and made a 1.78km trek, retracing the path of the crew on a pre-cut trail. All proceeds went to the benifit of the local people. The group of tourists ranged in age from 27 (me) to 63 years of age. I invite anyone interested in the adventure of a lifetime to sign up for more details about 2006 visits.
Currently on US news stands, the cover story of Flight Journal Magazine February 2006 issue is an article I wrote "Zero in the Jungle" about an A6M2 Zero I discovered in New Guinea. It is an amazing and true story about the discovery, recovery of the remains of its MIA pilot and connections with former Zero pilots. I never dreamed I would be involved with such a discovery myself. For the past three summers, I have traveled to the Pacific to visit battlefields, wreckage and meet people involved with World War II Pacific history.
Yours in history,
