My Great Uncle(My Grandfather's Brother) was a Navigator in the pacific on a mine sweeper ship. It was a wooden boat! Unfortunately he died when I was young so I never really got to talk to him much about this. I do have one of his duffle bags and his sailor hat, and a couple of maps/navigations charts that he took with him.

My Grandfather worked at Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT) making props and engines for US airplanes, during WWII.

Thats my only family connection with WWII.
