#4 This was a courageous bunch. They already had steel in their backbones because of the suffering during the Depression. Nothing frightened them. By coincidence, Gen Taylor, one of the first two pilots airborne after the first raid, passed away yesterday in Tucson. He and a pal drove ten miles to their P-40's, parked at an auxilliarly field, got up and shot down 8 planes, 6 confirmed. These brave souls were our parents and grandparents. They were brave. Lets hope we don't let them down after all their sacrifices.
