Re: George C Duncan VF-15 and the Marines
One thing confuses me. His first born son. According to most accounts (including his interview) this happened in February 1944. GCD married before the USA entered the war and we'd assume biologically that first born would arrive in mid-1942 if another child appeared in February 1944. However the eldest child is named in his father's obituary as George jr. who is still alive in the 1980s and living in Virginia, but the son born in 1944 is Alfred Tawresey Duncan who later served in the USN. Confusion? A family fight? Intriguing. It's got nothing to do with Duncan as a navy flier but mysteries are fun. Alfred seems to have had a solid if unremarkable career in the USN.
best regards
