Splendid selection of photos here.
Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
No Fw 190s to be seen here. This shot shows a Bf 109E.
This wan't the shot I meant about Galland and D-9. It's in the second or third batch and just referenced as 355fg Foe Galland. I just looked at original photo I got from Galland via Tolliver and while it was marked (by Tolliver) as D-9 it looks more like an A8 with the outboard gun.
This photo does not show a JG 27 bird as the filename says; it's from JG 51. The fellow
in the center of the photo is Werner Mölders, and the aircraft is his personal Bf 109F.
Great catch - thx.
Thanks again for sharing these excellent photos with us!
Maybe some more battle damage shots Bill... That and some of those excellent gun cam clips....
SURPRISE BILL! These are from the guy I e mailed you about - I'll PM his e mail address to you!!!
Drgon you actually have those pics? i think you said your father was in a few? THOSE ARE AMAZING!
Joe - I sent those to Pete wednesday. He contacted me thanks to you and I sent him stuff on WR-B before he bacame nelson's crew chief in WR-B. Those were pilots that had WR-B before Nelson.
I just e mailed you - sorry for the confusion!
Bill,
Just had to pass on to you that I'm (almost) finished reading Bud Fortier's AN ACE OF THE EIGHTH ... what an excellent book, as you well know! 8)
I'm embarrased to admit that I've seen the paperback on the shelves "for ages", it seems, and each time I never picked it up, thinking, "Not another 'There I was' book ...
However, recently I *did* pick it up, and the name Fortier rang a bell for some reason, though I'm about (was, anyway) about as ignorant about the 355th as a box of hammers ...I read a bit and immediately bought it. I have not been disappointed. Probably one of the best "There I was" books I've ever read. As you know, Bud was there for 18 months or so, and saw it all. His descriptions of various "innovations" is entertaining and educational. I see that Bud died in 2005 or so - found his alum listing on the UNH website.
I have your book on order as well. I got a VG+ used copy for a good price, and can't wait to read it. Thanks again for the CD recently ... 8)
