Re: Col. Don Blakeslee
Grant Mahony flew at least 550 combat missions with close to 1000 combat hours. He flew in the 3rd Pursuit Sq in the Philippines, commanded the 17th Provisional in Java, commanded the 76th FS in China, commanded the Fighter Section of the 1st Air Commandos in Burma and was KIA has the Deputy CO of the 8th FG in the Philippines in Jan 1945. He was also one of the most highly decorated with the DSC, 2 Silver Stars, 3 DFCs,Purple Heart, 11 Air Medals, British DFC, 4 US Pres. Citations, Phil. Pres Citation and 12 battle service stars. It's a shame that he's been largely forgotten.
