Lt.Col. William Starke, a veteran of the 44th FS, is selling his book titled "Vampire Squadron" on Ebay (for US $39.95 a copy). It's a very rare title, and I was delighted to get in touch with him. He wrote to me:
"We were the leading fighter squadron in the 13th Air Force with 169 planes shot down. My book is loaded with photos. I somehow survived 121 combat missions"
Today I picked up my signed copy
Here's the link:
