Roland 'Bud' L. Wolfe, USAAF pilot with 4 victories ?
Hallo all,

This American pilot joined the RAF c.1940 and later flew Spitfires with 133 Squadron. He was interned in neutral Ireland from 30 November 1941 until 1943.
A recent newspaper article claimed that after he was released he joined the USAAF and subsequently gained 4 victories. Also that he served postwar in the USAF during the Korean and Vietnam wars. After consulting various sources including the ACES HIGH series by Christopher Shores and STARS AND BARS by Frank Olynyk I can find no trace of him, let alone any victories.
Can anyone please add anything to the above - especially if he made any victory claims ?

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
