Mahurin

[fraazierjo]

I just tried to post a couple of pics of WWII ace Walker Mahurin, who died yesterday = one of the greats! Unfortunately, Photobucket seems to have changed its format and I can't figure out how to upload the pictures. Maybe one of you can supply one as a tribute?

R.I.P and take a good rest in the sky

from the link Andrew gave, this little extract
------
Bud Mahurin was the first American pilot to become a double ace in the European Theater and the only ace to shoot down enemy planes in both the European & Pacific Theaters and the Korean War. During World War II he was credited with 20.75 aerial victories, making him the sixth-highest American P-47 ace. He was credited with shooting down 3.5 MiG-15s in Korea, giving him a total of 24.25 aircraft destroyed in aerial combat.
