Also in the Dec. 25, 2015, post, Stanley Niemczura mentioned that he and his plane had hedgehopped from Foggia to his airfield in Cerignola, Italy.
I wasn't sure of what that meant, but found out hedgehopping is when an airplane flies close to the ground, rising above objects as they appear. This would be what a crop-spraying plane would do.
So, That's What It Is. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
