WWII collection lauds aviation heroes

She’s an old soul, really. There’s no better way to describe Jill Chandler than that, an old soul. Back in the Disco 1970s, for example, while her teen peers were fixated on booty shakers like the Bee Gees and Donna Summers, Chandler was mailing pen pal letters to luminaries who had long lost their luster. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Count Basie … And if Chandler’s passion for collecting autographs and personal letters had stayed in that golden oldies realm, well, she’d still have a compelling story to tell. Then in 1982, fresh out of Newport High School and 18 years old, Chandler set her sights much higher. She began contacting World War II aviators, both the famous and the unsung flyboys who once helped save the world. This happened years before the Internet, remember/ Doug Clark , SR. More here.
