Re: 50th Fighter Group (10th, 81st, 313th FS)
I have received a copy of the book by Gilbert C Burns, referenced above. It is titled Lord Have Mercy, is 138 pages, 8.5 by 11 inches, soft cover. ISBN 1-4251-1504-7. Published by Trafford Publishing, Victoria, BC, Canada. It covers the period 1942 to 1945, training to the end of the war. Mostly about his life, and experiences in the 313th FS.
The picture (painting) on page 66 is in error however. It shows him shooting down an Me-110 on October 3, 1944, in W3-O Ginny 44-20074. According to the book he did not receive this aircraft until January 14, 1945.
Enjoy!
Frank.
