Re: Bill Whisner 352nd FG - flight leader?

I should point out that Whisner had fallen foul of senior staff because of his problems with alcohol and that might have impaired his promotion prospects. He had shown tendencies before leaving the USA in 1943. According to John Meyer both George Preddy and Whisner were prone to episodes of excessive drunkenness.

In Korea in 1952 his lack of respect for authority was welcomed by Gabreski,
