Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

He would have been a Lt Col. In 1948, when he was the Air Force plant representative at Fairchild he was still a Lt Col.

In 1952 he was a Col and the commander of the 438th Fighter Bomber Wing based in Milwaukee, WI.

Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

In the account of Haynes' 6-kill-mission provided in OSPREY's "B-29 Hunters of the JAAF" his rank is given as Col. Is this a mistake ?

Cheers,

Michael

Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

Yes, that is a mistake. In the MACR for his bailout over Iwo Jima, which occurred 14 May 45, his rank is listed as Lt Col.

Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

Good afternoon RSwank,

shame on OSPREY.
For such a cool guy like Haynes a sole DFC is a little bit meagre.
Didn't he receive any other awards ?

Cheers,

Michael

Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

I've got some other info on Lt. Col Haynes, but I'd like to chat privately with anyone who has found his family, please. If nobody's found his family, has anyone developed any leads on any kids?

Thanks!

Michael

Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,

Good evening Gentlemen,

it is justified to say that the gunners in the crews (B-17 and B-29) of Robert Haynes scored a collective total of 18 ?

Cheers,

Michael
