April 29, 201016 yr #1 Ok, finally starting to get some of the items I have been lucky enough to get up and on-line. First up is the the Donald David Butler Riker. He was a WWII Navy airmen....from what I can tell, he never left the States according to what I am seeing in his flight log. Stationed in Pennsicola I believe as all his stamps in his log are from the Miami office of Naval Avaiation. He shows all of it in his log book....he flew Bi-plane trainers, SNV-1 mono-wing trainers, and eventually TBM/TBF Avengers solo. I would guess out on anti-sub partols, but dont know for sure. Anyway, here is the the Butler Naval Aviator Riker mount broken out for your viewing pleasure! :thumbsup:

So, didnt intend to research the groupings I am posting here as I will sell them off to help defray my costs some. Good info though.....I appreciate it! :thumbsup:
