Very nice photo, it's very rare to see color photos from the 40's with an Irvin jacket.

Stirling is one of the most impressive ww2 heavy bomber.

Can anyone recommend good books on the 31st FG. I'd be interested to learn how they ended up in Spitfires.

Yeah, but "Mustang" Ace, is he part of the group with the Spits?

Thanks!

Born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin -- right down the road from where I used to live. Makes me ashamed to admit I've never heard of him.
