Guys, I just saw on the "A Kill Has Been Recorded" Facebook group that Paul "Gypsy Baron" Strogen passed away in late January.

He was a great lover of scenarios and loved his bombers..

I noticed his signature made mention of "Scheherazade", a B-17G that flew with the 447thBG.  Must've been a favorite of his?
