Some time ago I aske the 'cape buffalo' (aka Dan) if he wanted to see some pics of German (and US) Aces from the Aces reunion in 1984 - I took these shots at the Fighter Aces Museum.
I finally got off my ass and sorted through them
1st - Doolittle, Landers and Leon Gray, 2nd Goehrke, Rall, Still trying to remember, Galland and Krupinski; 3rd me, Olds in background, Gen John Flynn;
4th Rall, Goehrke and Krupinski in front of 109; 5th Sublett, Unk -same as #2 above, Parr and London (first 8th AF ace)
I have a few more.
On the above - Flynn was a very close friend of my father, took his place in Daedelus Society and was senior bird Col in Hanoi Hilton - was there when Jane Fonda did her little tour. .. both he and dad were involved in USAAF greatest peacetime disaster in Japan in 1949..
