So, I was digging around in my basement today... (pictures inside)

[Stealth Hunter]

And I came across a box. I opened it up and found pictures of my cousin, Randall Tuttle, who was an ace of World War II in the Pacific. Randall died sometime in 1943 with about 8 victories to his credit while strafing an airfield. He flew a P-47 Thunderbolt and, just like his cousin Byron, was an only child. Byron died in 1944 in a B-17G over Germany while bombing submarine pens. Here are the pictures:

Thanks for sharing!

What a nice find SH. Great pictures too.

:D Chock

[Sailor Steve]

WOW! That is cool!:rock:

[waste gate]

Cherish those photos Stealth Hunter. And always keep Randall Tuttle's story close to your heart.

[TteFAboB]

Love the jug! :up:

[Ishmael]

I love the Jug too. A psychic once told me that I was shot down in one over Europe in my last life. Might explain why I always find the 47 the easiest plane for me to fly in sims.

[Camaero]

I wish I had flown a jug in my past life... :cry:

[bookworm_020]

Keep the photo's and reord the story behind them so future generations know what they represent.:yep:

[Stealth Hunter]

They'll be going away in a safe that I keep under a concrete slab in my basement. Hey, tornadoes aren't fun.:huh:

[robbo180265]

A real hero - thanks for sharing the photo's S/H:up:

[Camaero]

Why does Randall Tuttle sound so familiar? Was there ever anything about him in Flight Journal or anything?

[Stealth Hunter]

Not that I'm aware. It's possible, though.

How did the Islamic Republic of Iran let you fly as a pilot when your cousins were Americans?:hmm:

[Blacklight]

This makes me wish I had those old wartime pictures of my grandfather. He was a reconnaissance pilot stationed in southern England. He used to fly over France and take pictures of enemy fortifications in his little plane (That looks pretty much like your typical pleasure planes you see in the small airports today). He said that he actually became friends with several of the German reconnaissance pilots who were flying the other way each day and doing pretty much the same thing he was doing at the time. They would wave at each other as they would fly past each other, hehe. He probably would have been court marshaled for that if his superiors found out.

At one point, I know he crashed his plane in France, but it wasn't due to enemy fire and he wasn't captured. I think the engine conked out or something like that. I don't recall the whole story, but he had a picture of himself standing next to the smashed up plane. His plane was nammed "Diane" after my mother who was born a month or so after he was shipped over there.

I'm going to have to look up his war reccord some day and maybe piece together everything.

[AVGWarhawk]

Your pictures disappeared. That is a great find. I asked my mom about her brother who died in WW2. She came out with all sorts of pictures and his wings. He died over Kiel going after the sub pens. He was a B17 pilot. June 13th 1943 shot down. I took the wings, the pictures, a locket he had sent her from England and put them in a shadow box. I want his Purple Heart but that is with my living uncle in NJ who served in the PTO. His casket flag flys over Flushing Cemetary NY on Veterans day. I recommend you do the same if you can. Check to see if there is a website for his squadron:up:

Get you pictures loaded again! I want to see them!

[Blacklight]

An older co-worker of mine was a member of "The Big Red 1". He was a tank guy but I forgot what role he played in the tank. He was part of a wave that went over on D-Day but when he crossed in, the main fighting was over.

He knew I was interested in war and battles and such so he gave me the "Big Red 1" patch from his old uniform and what looks like a type of medal or badge of some sort. I have no idea what it is. It reads "Virtus Nobili Tat" accross the top. Here's a scan of them. Maybe one of you can recognise what it is.

[Blacklight]

Any idea what that metal badge is called ? What award was it ? I've never seen this thing before. The guy who gave these to me passed away a couple years ago so I can't ask him obviously.

It does kind of jazz me out knowing that the patch was actually on the beach on D-Day though.

It's not American, that's for sure. Googling the latin phrase on the badge returned lots of hits related to Scotland. I didn't find anything that looked like the badge itself though.

[Blacklight]

I know it's not American. It looks very British to me with the two lions and the crowns. I've been googling and I have yet to find that particular badge.

How did the Islamic Republic of Iran let you fly as a pilot when your cousins were Americans?:hmm:

Technically we're related by marriage (my brother, Abdhul, married an American woman; he gave me the boxes, and it wasn't until I opened them till I found what was inside; it's complex).

And they let me fly because they didn't know that side of the family (American side). Not surprised that he's not on that webpage since only 2 kills were confirmed (5 were counted as probable, 1 was called as unconfirmed).

EDIT:

Huh, the pictures are gone. I'll rescan them and post them back tomorrow (bloody Photobucket).

The civilians have bad luck, and maybe should have left the combat area earlier when possible. Or if they willingly hide the enemy, then it would give them the message that they better dont, and are being seen as combatants without uniform, which makes them a valid target. Areas were this scenario also applies are the middle East, Africa.

Note that until today so-called collateral damage from aerial bombing is nothing more than the intentional acceptance of eventually killing civilians if they happen to be too close to the target. According headloines from Iraq and Afghanistan have been in the news at least once per month if not per week during the past years.

We had that problem when Iraq attacked us and invaded. It wasn't necessarily that the civilians hadn't chosen to leave as much as it was they had nowhere safe to go. Constant missile barrages, bombings, and shelling from Iraqi artillery. After a while, you just learn to adapt to it, you know? You know what to do and when to do it. The civilians were no different when Saddam shelled out cities.

Now Basra was a different case. If you were an innocent and were still there, you were shot. Pure and simple. You were warned, it was time to leave, and now we were going into the breach. For the conditions during the war and Basra, you could have been an Iraqi militant, and we didn't take chances. We played it safe, but we lost many, many good soldiers during that time.

Bravo, Happy... Bravo...

I've always known it would be a matter of time before someone found out, and it's finally come. I'm not a bull****ter, no, there's actually a reason to my posts.

You see, Happy, for the past year now I've been using my account on this website to document how easy it is to deceive on the Internet. It's amazing what some people will believe, and I've wanted to get the facts. It's actually more or less my job. I'm actually intending to write a book on it and perhaps finally get people to understand how you never really know who you're soliciting with online. Every post I've made on this site I've kept in an MS Word file as well as the replies (along with notes I've made on them). Every single post I've made on this site is included in it (and this one shall also be added). I've done the same with three other sites over the years (but I won't name them; still have some experimenting to do with them and I must keep it secret).

You, Happy, are indeed wise enough to know that you should always check up on who you're hanging around with, and I'm glad to know it. So many idiots out there who will believe anything you post. Although, not everything I've posted has been utter crap (actually, I've taken a liking to you guys and dulled down on you). For instance, I am Iranian, I did live in Tehran, I was in the Iranian military during the war (just for two years, however), I am 51 today and still feeling young, I was a captain in the service, and I did shoot at a burglar who attempted to break in (although that was in Tehran and not in Texas; also note that I used the words "shoot at"; he completely got away). However, I never have worked for AT&T (that was based off my brother, Abdhul, who does in fact live in the United States), I've never shot prisoners of war, I was never a pilot during the war, and I didn't enter the war until August of 1986.

Hopefully, everyone else is smart enough to know that a forum is just words and icons, nothing more. You don't know who you're talking with, and you don't know what the person's case is. If you DID however believe everything I've said in past posts, then you really don't want to use the Internet because it is filled with lies. This is a lesson you've got to learn. Never trust who you're with online unless you've actually met them (but that doesn't mean you should run out and set up a date, time and place).

By the way, this Randall Tuttle existed. However, he was not a military ace in any regard. In fact, I took the photos from this FindAGrave.com memorial (this guy, Jurgens, was foolish enough to post links to this memorial all over the Internet; still, I left flowers on it; and the other guy, John Cornwell, that I claimed to be relation to also came off the same user; you can see the photo's from that site; I've also gotten the fine opportunity to raid his Photobucket account, and I must say I do agree with his tastes):

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=tuttle&GSfn=randall&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSob=n&GRid=19133424

For instance, I am Iranian, I did live in Tehran, I was in the Iranian military during the war (just for two years, however), I am 51 today and still feeling young, I was a captain in the service, and I did shoot at a burglar who attempted to break in (although that was in Tehran and not in Texas; also note that I used the words "shoot at"; he completely got away). However, I never have worked for AT&T (that was based off my brother, Abdhul, who does in fact live in the United States), I've never shot prisoners of war, I was never a pilot during the war, and I didn't enter the war until August of 1986.

Hopefully, everyone else is smart enough to know that a forum is just words and icons, nothing more. You don't know who you're talking with, and you don't know what the person's case is. If you DID however believe everything I've said in past posts, then you really don't want to use the Internet because it is filled with lies. This is a lesson you've got to learn. Never trust who you're with online unless you've actually met them (but that doesn't mean you should run out and set up a date, time and place).

By the way, this Randall Tuttle existed. However, he was not a military ace in any regard. In fact, I took the photos from this FindAGrave.com memorial (this guy, Jurgens, was foolish enough to post links to this memorial all over the Internet; still, I left flowers on it; and the other guy, John Cornwell, that I claimed to be relation to also came off the same user; you can see the photo's from that site; I've also gotten the fine opportunity to raid his Photobucket account, and I must say I do agree with his tastes):

And that's the idea. Like I said, you've got to learn that the Internet is a place where you're never really sure who you're with. You've got to learn to be weary of others, to use your mind. If you do feel betrayed, then, once again, you need to know that the Internet is a harsh place in that respect. Hopefully, you know now you investigate who's around you.

Most people in Subsim know that, they are smart and good people, they just arent used to find it in Subsim were they let their guard down.:nope:

I dont rmember what post it was but ive known for some time, its just started irritating me too much.

Ps. Ill believe your new story after Neal has confirmed it, otherwise the trust is gone.
Getting keelhauled has to be close..

Wont tell you.:p

You sly dog.:D

Well, if I'm keelhauled... t-that's actually self-explanatory. Hopefully he doesn't, though. I've actually come to like you guys (Jimbuna's funny icons, August's in-your-face attitude, Sailor Steve's helpful posts, you name it and you can find it here... except for drugs, that's the one thing I don't think you'll find here). Once again, if anyone didn't investigate my posts, then hopefully you've learned a lesson.

You could just be one sick puppy.:roll:

That's also true... or I could be Ollie Williams, Channel 5 News.

"What's the forcast for today, Ollie?"
"IT'S GONN RAIN!"
"Thanks, Ollie."

I love Ollie.

I'm not sick, though. You can believe me on that (the term "one sick puppy" normally refers to someone suffering from schizophrenia, and thank god I'm not one).
