The Costello Clan

He was shot down twice and one time he lost his friend who flew with him.

Whenever we wanted to go on vacation, Dad would never get  in an airplane so we always had to drive.

Dad told me that his favorite plane was the Douglass SBD Dauntless.

I built at least ten of these models when I was a kid.   They hung on a thread from my ceiling

Dad sent the letter (above) to me when I was in my first year in college.
