I just got an email from Roy Russell, who graduated in the same class as Jack, and flew from the same fields with the 1st FG, he was in a different squadron. I'm trying hard to get Roy to get in touch with Syd, in order to get Roy's story on that site.

As a sad side note, I have a bunch of P-38 pilots on my email list, and over the past 3 years, at least a dozen have passed.
