Messer Wrote:Touching, really. Its great that the people in the US honor their veterans. Those red-striped Mustangs were from the 31st FG, weren't they?Yes that is the markings of the 31stFG,15thAF.
As I've mentioned before, I have a book called 'Mustang ace' by Robert Goebels whom was an ace from the 31stFG, 308thFS and in it he talks of Jim Brooks being a good friend of his. And in the center pages there are pictures including the very picture of Jim bare chested crouched on the wing that is on the web page.
The book is highly recommended reading.
