Really, why was it called Camel? Because it didn't use a water cooled
engine?

Thanks for the info. Now that you mention it, you can see the hump over the
guns. Now I have one less thing to keep me awake all night.

Doesn't look like my signature, it must be a forgery.

So that wasn't you in New Guinea in 1944? I think the Lindbergh you want is dead, has been since 1974. He was arguably a Nazi sympathizer and anti-semitic. A shame for him to go down in history like that.

So that wasn't you in New Guinea in 1944? I think the Lindbergh you want is dead, has been since 1974. Yup! He was arguably a Nazi sympathizer and anti-semitic. I guess he had a change of priorities in 1941 when the "America First Committee" withered on the vine. A shame for him to go down in history like that. He still goes down in history as a great pilot. He made a strong contribution to the war effort in the South West Pacific and put himself in the line of fire when it counted. -- Regards, Savageduck
