Both of my grandfathers were in the military. This one was in the army, stationed in India during WWII. (And before you ask, he is 6'3" (1.9 m). We hope Luke will take after him in the height department.) He worked at the airfield with all kinds of planes coming in and out, 24/7. When my father discovered The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah, we made it a point to take my grandfather on a field trip of sorts as a family to see it. They also have a complete B-17 that they are restoring in the back of the museum. It's not even behind glass, just ropes and saw horses. It was really an amazing trip. This is all of us standing in front of an amazing mural. It wraps around two walls, and it is in credibly detailed. He said that the airfields looked *exactly* like they are depicted in the mural.
