Site Guide for the 27th Pursuit Squadron Page
27th Pursuit Squadron site guide
Welcome
July 15, 1997
The first reviews are in, and boy, are you guys kind
The site has begun to generate response, and i'm plenty happy
about that.
"I am very interested in your view of the 18 September mission
in which
Wehner was killed. I am working on a painting of this incident
right
now and have not, like you, discovered the number of his plane.
I would
like to make the painting as accurate as possible and of course
this
would be helpful. As it is, I can "invent" a plausible number,
but it
would be helpful to know what it actually was. If you ever run
across
this, I would be grateful to know of it." author/artist
Michael O'Neal.
Anybody out there got the answer?
As an
editor, reporter and writer,
the Internet offers me a
luxury that print media does not: the ability to publish drafts
of a project and solicit criticism - constructive or otherwise -
that can be incorporated into subsequent versions. I hope
someday to see this story in print under my name, and it's my
intention to work out the kinks in my understanding of it
beforehand.

graphic images at this site were stolen from other
places on the web. If you see one of your graphics here and don't
like that I'm using it, by all means tell me - I'll drop it
