Slightly off topic, but there's a paragraph at the end of Johnny Godfrey's under-rated book, where Goodson reminisces with him at his bedside (just before Johnny passed)... Gets me every time.

Terrific photo!
Greg have you read his memoir "The Flying Greek"?
It's seriously very, very good if you haven't.

That's awesome Greg, the colours look spot on unlike a lot of attempts which you see with colourisation.

Is the large khaki bag a waste basket?

With respect Greg I beg to differ. I think Nathan Howland (Howdi), a professional who has been around for years, has a better grasp of the subject. Renee is relatively new and has become known by posting (polite term) her work to as many FB groups as she can find, including those I co admin. Her descriptions sometimes contain errors.
Just my personal opinion.

Nice to see even the German Shepherd was paying attention when the photographer came.

That's good old Duke, he had several "owners" but was seriously one of the most important members of the 4th.

Interesting you mention him. He's very good, but all his photos have an unrealistic bright greenish hue, or some other color that just looks out of place. When I respectfully mentioned this in a comment under one of his photos he replied like a true pompous @ass. So I unfollowed his page. He also started by sharing his photos in every possible group just like Renee.
This one is a good example: the Spitfires' camo looks way too vivid, not being affected by the environment, the sky is unrealistically blue, and the whole image has a purplish hue that I cannot possibly explain. Renee's work is much more believable to me, but that's just my subjective opinion.

Funny you should mention the pompous aspect, I can fully understand and sympathise that you would feel that way as I have experienced much the same. With that in mind I'm not going to spend time defending his work
As you say these things are subjective

Really great photo, Greg! Thanks for posting.
Sorry if this has been posted before: The Mettle Behind the Merit - the Steve Pisanos story is nicely produced:
Really cool to learn he was an illegal Alien when he came to the US and what he overcame to become a fighter pilot.

the large khaki bag is a mail bag.
