Greg:
I also drew pictures of WWII combat aircraft incessantly during High School. I later graduated to drawing USAF jet fighters once I got into the Air Force and became a Crew Chief on the F-4E Phantom. All my drawings were in pencil and I still have a folder full of them somewhere. I never graduated to using paint. I also drew hot-rods and dragsters during the same time but planes captured my imagination the most.

Chuck,
Very cool letter. Businessmen really knew how to write proper business letters back in those days. The business communications I receive from my vendors and customers today is barely grade school level grammar. Obviously a mistake was made regarding the gender of the recipient of the letter in your Aunt's case, but the word-crafting and proper use of punctuation is representative of what was very common during that business era.
