MG TD TF 1500 - Att, Robert Finucane

Hi Bob,
I was reading about Spitfires in The Battle of Britain
and learned that one of the leading RAF Aces was a Paddy Finucane (his pr. Finn ooh' kin) born in Dublin. Had 32 kills by age 21. Have you ever seen him in your list of ancestors?
Oh, by the way, I bought my first antique auto, a 52 TD,
six years ago at age 76 shortly after a quad by-pass and just renewed my driver's license so I can drive it till I'm 88 and then I hope to renew it for another six years. My Dr. says that desire is what keeps me young.
Regards,
George Metz
Cheshire,CT

George, Have heard of him but not sure if we are related. My father began the war as a Navy pilot at Pearl Harbor flying (and crashing) PB-Ys and through his career flew something like 140 different aircraft retiring as Capt. Finucane. Also Capt. with Pan Am after the war. Flying may be our blood connection. Bob
