Here's ol' Gus either about to take his first solo steps, or pretty close to them. In carefully looking at this picture just now, for the first time in nearly 67-years, I saw something new to me...my father's WWII AAF wings are pinned to my chest !
Little more than a year before this picture, Dad was in the nose of a B-17 bound for Germany, hoping like hell they wouldn't blow him out of the sky. That's Mom, the bobby soxer, helping out with a steady hand; she's 24 and had already soled sometime before this. Pretty amazing to contemplate what has transpired between those first steps and this morning's.
