[QUOTE="carleb, post: 1607661, member: 2353"] [url]http://www.86fighterbombergroup.com/documents/Newsletters/Nov2010NL-Website.pdf[/url] Obviously, I'm not a whiz at putting in links, but this is an address of a web site concerning the 86th Fighter Group & their reunions that shows my uncles obituary on page 9. It indicates that my uncle indeed flew 118 combat missions in Europe. As far as I know, they were all in a P-47 Thunderbolt. I cannot find any verification of him being an Ace and indeed that may have been "license" taken by his friend who read Glen's obituary at the funeral. I have some other verification & photo material I would like to post, if I can figure out how to do it. (His name "Glen" is indeed spelled with 1 "n", although he was often refered to as "Glenn". I just don't liking myself making claims without some backup. None the less, he was a remarkable man. He also won a silver star, but that is another story and backup. :-) He also turned 20 only a couple of months before VE Day, making him 19 during much of his combat duty. This is a good thread concerning the bomber pilots, crew and planes. Remarkable men! [/QUOTE]
