The exacting touch of a female worker riveting the structure of a horizontal stabilizer for a “Vengeance” dive bomber at the Consolidated-Vultee plant in Nashville, Tennessee.
Below is a very interesting book about the A -31 Vengeance dive bomber, detailing its development, production and unsung but critical role in the Pacific Theatre during WWII.
Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
