Addition: Per Barrett Tillman, F4F Wildcats had individual gun selection, and many pilots at Santa Cruz toggled two and sometimes even four guns off...
I recently graduated with my Masters degree in Military history from Norwich University. This degree in conjunction with my undergrad degrees in history have taught me a tremendous amount about the world, people, and events that have created our modern world. I am a gluten for punishment, as I am now considering a PH.D in history as well. But that will have to wait until after I complete a M B A program I plan to start in late 2016. (I have decided to pass on the PH.D. It's just too much at this point in my life.)
I love aviation, the history of flight, and the sounds and smells of propeller driven aircraft. In short, airplanes are a huge part of my life. Although, I sadly am not a pilot. Some day, when I can get my nose outside of my books long enough, I will have to rectify that!
