Re: 9 Aug 44 - 3 COs in a day - 353FS/354FG/9AF

Don's brother Darrel was a very good friend of mine and gave me a number of photos, clippings and Don's wings and British DFC award. He said that it was reported to them that Don survived the fall but died shortly thereafter. Jim Howard told me that Beerbower was the finest combat pilot/leader he'd served with during his military career.
