He was indeed interesting.  Any 'bad side of the family' stories are always more interesting anyhow.;)  Definitely read about him.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Ave, for I come from Caesar through a long line of kings. (not joking :D)
But 6 generations is short. Even in my little country we sometimes need 9 or 10 for a match.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I don't suppose I really understand this 6 deg of separation thingy. I kind of liked Lazs approach. But like NeuBob said, I know a guy that would rather ride a metric scooter than a Harley. And...

I have a pic around here some where, of me sitting on George Leroy Parker's lap. (when I was 7, at a family reunion) Seems he was my Grandmothers cousin.
Side note, the two white guys killed in Bolivia were really a pair of foreign mining engineers that the mine owners turned in for the reward......
