Roland the Thompsongunner Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Here is a picture of my gun being held by Richard Cole who was Col. Dolittle's copilot from the bombing run on Tokyo. He is 98 years old. He was signing autographs and I had my russian gear on and my gun and he stood up and asked to see it. He liked it and asked a bunch of questions about it. Was an honor to meet him and also to get this picture. Glad to help with the gun issue. Love my PPSH its my favorite WWII subgun.

laurencen Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 98 years old and looks good with the gun, too bad he did not have the chance to shoot it, betting he has lots of stories to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland the Thompsongunner Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 He flew a B25 last year. They said he flew it textbook perfect. I would have loved to have him fire it but it was at an air show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelkih Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm sure he remembers where every button in the B25 is to touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
