Andreas,

There was no Gen. Melchett that commanded the 474th FG during WWII. The group was lead by Col. Clinton Wasem, then Col. Earl Hedlund. My father and Hedlund were close friends as my father often flew as Hedlund's wingman.

I had not heard the story of "Captain Darling from Black Adder". Can you tell me more?

Thanks, Gary
