Matt Lee Shadley Lee Shadley's Great Grandson Mike Sullivan writes: My Great Grandfather was born in Big Bend, California on May 15, 1895. He was a member of the Madasi band of the Pit River tribe. All of our family are proud of the service record or American Indians in our wars, even though at times, we were not classified as citizens. In 1992 my family was contacted by the DOD regarding Lee. He is considered to have been the "most wounded" man to survive in the war. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that he was shot on the 25 of September, 1918 and this resulted, by one late in life count, 175 entry and exit wounds on his body. The machine gun round went through his hip and struck a bag of grenades on the other side causing a large explosion. The reason he didn't die from infection during the three days he was in no man's land was due to not having eaten for a couple days and that the bullets which went in, and the damage from the exploding bag of grenades manage to miss every vital organ! He spent two days in the field before being taken to hospital. There he was more or less given up on, and moved to the hall outside the morgue with other soldiers who were not expected to make it. Later, while at San Francisco's Presidio, in March 1919, he was given the highest "score" of wounds among the convalescent soldiers, 117 at that time. He was awarded a Silver Star, Purple Heart and a $44.00 a month disability payment for his service.

Bet those were enemy trees

Thanks, My wife's Honda has heated seats luv those things.

Sorry old man, it doesnt get better . Whenever my life looked up, something went wrong. For Example, the bills were getting paid off and we were doing well in Dec . Jan came and my wife lost her job ( Company Re-structure) The grandson who lives with us is in limbo. He doesn't want to work locally but doesn't want to leave . I get more aches and pains as each month goes by not to mention getting drug into court over an Accident I reported but wasn't involved in. Life Happens, its not fair or unfair and its all too precious and short. Best wishes.

I envy you. I wanted to vist there and in Wash D.C when I was back East. However it never happened. My only claim is that I got to touch and see close up and Photo ( here in Cailf, at the Chino Planes of Fame ) One of the aircraft that Charles Nungesser flew and had brought over to the U.S. for a Film. ( The movie has been lost to history and may have self destoryed because it was made of Nitrates )

Anyone know the History of this A/C ?

nice

This one is un real. I would not get near this thing for love or money ( well maybe a Hot and sweaty 22 yr old female) http://youtu.be/aRDkddXKABI

and the

I agree. Germany is about the same size as the state of Texas in the U.S. and its fighting a 2 front War

a sweet sound

There is the T.V. Version I think it was called the same thing. Closer to History and better Acting. I cant remember about the Flight scenes ? :fan_1:

Wow how did that Fly and How many gallons to the air mile ?

Hauksbee's review is Dead on. I watched the film today and it is another Fly boys. I do enjoy watchin airplanes so I liked it although I wish they were or filmed like they were real. The acting is not so great: 2 or 3 of the minor actors do stand out and The Actress who played the Italian female lead was a sight to behold when she smiled. Otherwise, the actors are just there for the paycheck. One the plus side, The theater sound is great. The cannon and machine gun sounds are wonderful along with the sounds of aircraft being damage a thrill ride of rocks hitting a trash can.

Whats Ur favorite Non War Bi Plane Ive always admired these: http://youtu.be/N_fEsUzL1Ew

The motor sounds right on this Vid

I dont know if these are re build or what except for the 109G Red 7 that one is a HA something from Spain

Mircosoft $ is all about money so dont hold your breath. However, I think the forum could come up with some ideas for Marketing OFF. For example, the idea of writing or E mailing a PC mag requesting a review of OFF is a good one. Maybe listing or talking about in other Forums might promote our game . How about it ?
