I once thought that I had quite a bit of knowledge about firearms, war vehicles, WWI and WWII aircraft and so much other History of modern weaponry, until I read SO MANY firsthand and expert posts such as this thread on our site that humble me to feeling like I'm a complete novice. I was a WWII History nut every since I was a little kid, and took all the classes available from my college. I have no idea why, but it was there then, and still there today at my late OLD age of 57.
I hope you guys will forgive that I'm only a moderator here, but I'm completely astounded with the first-hand knowledge that I learn here over and over as I read through the threads just as to see that nobody is bullied (Hardly EVER Happens on our site!).... And to help in any way I can to help resolve issues... The whole moderator team is passionate here, and they do what seems like the impossible at times.
Please keep it up guys! I have researched and also read SO, SO much from books over years, became close friends with MANY WWI and WWII small-arms experts, pilots, and collectors, and I have even been able to either fly as a passenger, or even fly several WWII vintage aircraft aircraft over the years.
I sincerely hope that Milsurps.com ('Badger's' Site') will continue to bring in SO MANY TRUE gentleman Experts Day in and Day Out! What an outstanding group of experts from almost EVERY aspect of the era!
