I'm honored to "meet" a relative of Mad Jack's. He was a remarkable man, a brave Marine and an awesomely-skilled pilot. I've written about him in several of my historical novels about the air war at Guadalcanal - you can find them on Kindle at Amazon - search Ned Barnett then "Air War Pacific" to find the stories about that air war, and the heroes who fought it. Thanks again.Ned Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061911547748210995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207372155805282090.post-89711114526104918012019-12-29T21:02:35.174-08:002019-12-29T21:02:35.174-08:00Greetings Ned, I appreciate the details of this ar...Greetings Ned, I appreciate the details of this article. Major Jack Cram was my grandfather's cousin. I met him when he was a general before he retired from the Marine Corps. I was just eleven years old at the time, that was in 1967. He had quite the illustrious career. He loved great danes; he raised them and showed them in competitions. He helped establish the Olympia Airport in Washington. There is so much more that Jack did in his lifetime for aviation. Quite the interesting read. I feel quite in awe of my eleven year old self that I spent an afternoon playing with his great dane "Ace." Thank you for sharing this dramatic and selfless story with the next generation. Our kids need to know these men were real flesh and blood. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Catherine Perrett, granddaughter to Hazen Cram (first cousin to Jack Cram)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809797380370177084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207372155805282090.post-51411162761511382292018-01-18T08:06:56.611-08:002018-01-18T08:06:56.611-08:00This is a very good idea for a Catalina build.
