Re: Raymond F. Toliver passed away
Hallo all,
I too mourn his passing. Though it is now common to find his work disparaged he - and Trevor Constable - are responsible for my interest (obsession) in military aviation and fighter pilots especially. During August 1983, with only a reasonable and superficial interest in matters aviation, I bought a copy of HORRIDO! while on holiday in America and read it on the flight back. It literally changed my interests, and indeed my life, forever overnight. It caused me to start collecting information and books. After some years I began to research a particular area of the air war. I continue at this with as much passion as ever. I believe Carlos Herrera had a very similar experience with HORRIDO!.
Thank you Ray Toliver. Rest in peace.
Martin Gleeson.
