Dear Sir, As a R.A.F. enthusiast ( Second World War only ), I want to congratulate you for this tremendous interview!!!!!!! How lucky to meet Spiros ( the final s has been forgotten in the text ) " Steve " Pisanos!!!!!!!! He looks very well ( I wish to be as fit as him at the same age )!!!!!!!!! During the interview, you mentioned the American Squadron in the French Air Force ( First World War ). The exact transcription is : L' Escadrille La Fayette ( La Fayette Squadron ). If I may, I would like to add this : when you say a word with a double l in French ( as " escadrille " ), you have to pronounce it like a y ( example : Aye, Sir ). I also noticed when you talk about N° 133 " Eagle " Squadron, you tend to say " One - Thirty - Three ". In the R.A.F., when anybody talks about a squadron like N° 133 " Eagle " Squadron, he/she always says " One - Three - Three ". Apart from that, as some R.A.F. airmen were used to say : " You have done a bloody good show "! By the way, are there photographs in high resolution of Spiros Pisanos during his time in the R.A.F.? Do you have any access to archive materials as well? Here is my E - mail address : - uncle_abe_jr@outlook.com Thank you very for this extraodinary video. Have a nice day. Cheers.

Thanks for this! I love these first hand accounts. My relatives who were in the war, didn't want to talk much about it. Understandably.

16:04, "Did you have the 4 bladed prop?" All P47's from the first one's always had 4 bladed props, there was never a 3 bladed prop version.

You said to ask for permission to use this for commercial purposes. May I use parts of this interview? Probably only a minute.
