Mike, This entire piece was both engrossing and moving. I almost skipped it but because you wrote it thought I should give it a glance and then read every word -- some of it twice. Even had a tear or two for people I never met and about which I never thought. That is powerful writing. Thanks for doing this.

Thank you! Even just the thought of someone else now knowing that those guys existed, and appreciating them - even fleetingly - is fulfilling to me.

Absolutely fascinating and impressive Mike - well done for getting this off the ground, writing such a detailed and personal history, and establishing all those contacts. As you say, probably a never-ending piece of work.

Because the casualty rate was so high, taking into account all the replacements, I still don't have a total for the number of men who served in the squadron!
