A True Story about a WWII B-17 Crew
My dad's B-17 was shot down during a bombing raid over Sicily in July 1943. Listen to the gripping spoken account of the last surviving crew member as he describes the fighting when the plane was shot down. Learn the fate of each member of the crew. See pictures of some of my dad's POW Mementos, including his Stalag 17 mugshots, his hand-drawn escape map, MIA telegrams, and more. Read details about one of his two escapes.
Thailand During the Vietnam War
As a member of the U.S. Air Force, I was stationed at Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand from late 1968 to late 1969. I worked on the flight line servicing the F-105 and F-4 fighter-bombers stationed there in support of the Vietnam War. See pictures and read stories about the planes, the people, and the places, both on base and off base.
Free Woodworking Plans, Pictures, Instructions
Woodworking is a passion of mine. I'm a self-taught woodworker who has completed many projects. Some were built for a specific need. Others are general in nature. Pictures are available for every project presented here. Most of the projects include detailed illustrated instructions with 3D plans created using SketchUp. All the material is available for download. You might be inspired to build your own version of some of these projects. Take a look!
Free Windows Apps
I occasionally write Windows apps for the PC. Some are available here for download. All will run on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. Each downloadable app is contained in a ZIP file. The apps require no installation. Simply extract the free-standing executable EXE file and run it.
