By the way, I'm a Purdue aviation technology grad, so you can say I love airplanes.

Got my private pilot license back in '96, but haven't managed to get up in about 10 years now.

Just read the IU/PU forums on Indystar.com, they're kinda war-like...

Enemy at the Gates was pretty good and I started reading "Biggest Brother" by Larry Alexander which is about the life of Major Dick Winters who led the band of Brothers. ie the group of amazing men from the HBO series. Good book so far just got side tracked

I just finished reading "Duty, Honor, Privilege: New York City's Silk Stocking Regiment and the Breaking of the Hindenburg Line" by Stephen L. Harris. It is a good WWI book with a mix of historical facts and tons of stuff from the soldier's view.

It's about the 7th NY Infantry Regiment as part of the 27th Division attached to the British Fourth Army.
