Re: American Aces Died in 2015

I just saw that Alden Rigby passed away this morning. He was the last 352nd Fighter Group Ace, to my knowledge. He flew in the 487th Fighter Squadron and had five victories.

With Don Strait and Art Jeffrey, that is three 8th Air Force aces in less than a month that have passed on.

God Bless you gentlemen.

Re: American Aces Died in 2015

Mark,

Savannah, Georgia 2008. On the last day of that great re-union you arranged for us, I was talking with a retired Lt/Col or Full Bird Colonel in the foyer. A former B-17 pilot. Tall and slim and holder of the DFC I believe. Can you remember who that was and whether he is still with us?

We have had this conversation before and you told me who he was. Any guesses 3 years later?

David
