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.

Why's That Plane Flying So Low?
From the May 6, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back.
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"An unidentified Army plane flew over Sycamore Tuesday afternoon and frightened several people in the residential section because of his low altitude.
"The young man seemed to be master of his ship and flew at a terrific speed while low, causing persons to'duck' as he passed."
Maybe a left-over TDR-1?
