"Why did you join the USAF and not the Navy?" I have actually given it lots of thought. My only guess is that the very first War Movie I recall seeing was "Tora Tora Tora", when I was about 5-6 years old. Around the same time, my Brother had JUST built a model of a Japanese Zero. I was VERY fascinated with his Models. It triggered my interest in building and History. The Tora Tora Tora thing just triggered a real interest in airplanes and Naval warfare. THEN....My Dad took my Brother and I to see Midway, when I was 9. That REEEEEALLY made my interest take off. I have no idea why but I never was interested in building Tanks or Armor kits. I love flicks like "Battle Of The Bulge" and "The Longest Day" but still gravitate to the Pacific stuff
