Bet you didn't know this...I didn't either.  She was very pretty.

a delicate flower with deadly aim.  My kinda lady.  I am quite the shot too but not nearly as pretty as her! She's one for the ages.

@MoonieBaby.  Me too, I earned an "expert marksman" certificate in the USAF.

@Kachina624   wow! First, thank you so much for your service.!!  I knew Annie was small, but don't think I have seen that photo. She was a tiny thing!  And a beautiful woman, Sassy, smart and determined. My Dad and husband were USAF, with my Dad , I think they called it Army Air Corp when he enlisted, and USAF on his discharge papers. My Dad was a prolific photographer.  I have hundreds of photos from the war, the planes, etc.  trying to find Air Force dept who might take them.

@Kachina624  Yes I did know all this.  How much was the bet? 

[Kachina624]

@shoekitty.  Try the Commemorative Air Force (CAF).  They have a number of locations and collect and fly WW II planes and display military memorabilia.  They were most helpful to my son who wanted to identify and know the history of some items he'd collected.  He was in Midland, Tx., at the time.

@Puzzle Piece.  Seems like a bet rings a bell but I don't remember the details.  Do tell.

I certainly didn't know it. They don't make them like they used to.

[Kachina624]

@monicakm.  Are you getting bad thunderstorms?  I keep seeing your area on radar and it sure looks like it.
