Don told us that vintage WW II aircraft were being exhibited at the Naples Municipal Airport so Georgia and I went over for a look after saying "adios" to Don and Gwen. It was well worth it-Three fully restored aircraft-a B-17, B-24 and P-51-drew a big and enthusiastic crowd. The airport also had an interesting military museum with artifacts dating back to WW I. Afterwards, we poked around upscale Naples which has many beautiful homes, a sugar sand beach and a famous and very active pier. Later in the afternoon, we stopped by the beautiful Naples home of our Princeton friends Gerry and Kim Kells who were hosting an invasion en masse of "The Vivacious Vixens of Princeton", Georgia's book group friends from our days in Princeton.

Ball Turret Guns-B-17 Flying Fortress

A famous and haunting poem-Death of a Ball Turret Gunner :From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
