Looking for informations of ace William K. Giroux
 
Hello,

I'm happy to own some photos of W.K. Giroux's estate in my collection.
Now I'm looking for informations about his career in USAAF, dates of his
victorys, details about his a/c and so on. Maybe some of you can help?
Every information is welcome.

Regards and happy new year,
Sven.

Sven,

A little story here: http://www.aeromuseum.org/exhibitsHa...me_Giroux.html

His usual P-38J was called "Whilma II/Dead Eye Daisy".

Regards,

Leendert

Sven,
Dr. Frank Olynyk's "Stars and Bars" has a rather complete bio for Giroux who is credited with 10 victories, 3 probables, and 1 damaged.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
