Re: 1/Lt Allen F Bunte

I met Allen F. Bunte in about 1987 or 88. As a teen, I was a Eagle Squadron fan with a painted A2 to prove it--"Shangri La" and Disney's fighting eagle on the back. In Orlando on a family trip to Disney, we passed the 4th Fighter Group Restaurant by accident. I went in and discovered Allen in the bar. He treated me to war stories--the kind when fighter pilots reenact dog fights; his right hand was his plane, the left hand the German. He signed the lining of my jacket just beside Jim Goodson's autograph. I might be able to find the picture of him.
