Mr. Olynyk, are your claims lists still available? If so, how may I obtain copies?

Thanks,

Rob Cooper

Rob Cooper,
Unfortunately, none of my Victory Lists are currently in print. I intend to get them back in print, with some improvements. But I have no time at present to work on them except intermittently. The first production step will require a complete rewrite of the software to generate the books. I do not know when I will be able to start work on that.

Enjoy!

Frank.

I have received a copy of the book by Gilbert C Burns, referenced above. It is titled Lord Have Mercy, is 138 pages, 8.5 by 11 inches, soft cover. ISBN 1-4251-1504-7. Published by Trafford Publishing, Victoria, BC, Canada. It covers the period 1942 to 1945, training to the end of the war. Mostly about his life, and experiences in the 313th FS.
The picture (painting) on page 66 is in error however. It shows him shooting down an Me-110 on October 3, 1944, in W3-O Ginny 44-20074. According to the book he did not receive this aircraft until January 14, 1945.

Enjoy!

Frank.
