Earl flew AH a little early on. He flew Airwarrior quite a bit more. As you can imagine Earl never took things real serious in Airwarrior
I think Earl had the most fun trying to torpedo carriers in a TBF.
Earl flew 38s, 39s and P47Ds with the 345th FS, 350th FG, The DevilHawks
He earned the DFC and Silver Star for his ground attack work in the Jug.
A bunch of Airwarrior guys got together and commissioned a painting of Earl's P39 over Anzio and we presented it to him at the AW Indy Con way back when
As Earl is also from Minnesota I was lucky enough to get to visit he and Mrs Miller a few times and he was kind enough to let me borrow many of his photos.
This shows Earl with a P38G that was loaned to the 350th for intercepting high alt recce birds in North Africa. The P39s they had couldn't get up high enough.
