Erich- I flew off of Yontan, Ie Shima and Naha from May of '45 until spring of 49. Transfered to P-61's on August 3rd and remained in them until I returned to the States in '49

thanks again and looking forward to more from you.

Erich ~ and lastly was Wyatt Earp painted on the nose of your P-38 ?
No pix, just the name Wyatt Earp in medium black letters. I had hoped Earp was as good a shot as I had proven in the AAF.

i jus realized that my post wasn't totally shown on the screen. I was in an overloaded 418th NFS at almost group strength. Sorry bout that?
