This is the picture I use most of all because one can see Ellis, and see the plane in the air - where it should be.
Each of these few Warbirds has a much bigger story behind it. It is the nature of Warbirds, perhaps the P-51 in particular, to attract Dreamers - and those who do not just wish for – but take action to make his/her Dream come true.
In this Site, I will tell a small part of EDW’s story and suggest how this Site can be expanded to include so many more stories.
Ellis came from humble beginnings, and with a little help, some luck, and mostly his own personal effort, made his personal Dream come true.
This historic aircraft is looking for a new home with appreciative owner.
 I had the good fortune to grow up with two massive Dreamers, and another who tended more to the negative side of the expression, “Dreamer”. Oh! And a fleet of other WWII pilots and fairly aggressive characters who did not stop to wait for government hand-outs.

Sorry, might as well say early, I am not very “Politically Correct.” Sensitivity is not my strong point, nor was it a highlight of many of whom I shall speak. But that sure as Heck does not mean that they did not help others while they were helping themselves. ‘Nuff said.
