Really sorry to hear this.  Deepest sympathy to his family and to his AH friends.

Can't say I knew 68KO much at all, but I did fly with him on occasion in the Snapshots.  And in one of the more immersive ones I flew, he was prominent.

Escorting 26s in Spit IXs to bomb a target in France.  MacMaw and his 3 26s had been hit hard by 190s.  He'd dropped down damaged and was hit by a single 190.  KO and I dove down to try and clear him.  Not soon enough for his second drone, but 68K0 got the 190 so MacMaw was still flying.  Damaged but still headed for the target.  But he was alone and on the deck.  

Without thinking about it, we both stuck with MacMaw and took him into the target and all the way home.  It really sucked me in as that's what the Spits were doing in 1943.  68KO seemed to know the score too and while rat-racing with the 190s and 109s would have been more fun, getting MacMaw home was the job and we did it.

Screenshot from that flight of 68KO and I covering MacMaw home on the deck over the English Channel.
