This is the first in a short series (four) of World War Two correspondence. My grandfather, Ray Green, was a young airplane mechanic in the Army Air Corps (precursor to the Air Force) and he wrote often during those days to his girl, my grandmother, Jane Mae Cottrell. They eventually married in 1945. I'll be including a bit of each letter that this postage delivered.

Some of the letters are touching, many hint at the sheer boredom of military life (he was a trainee, then mechanic), and all of them (47 letters have survived the years) are dear to me.

We just put up a picture of the 514th squadron taken when we had the review week before last and I am in it. Can you feature that?
