George Preddy- Top Mustang Ace (video)

[Bomber_12th]

It probably goes without saying, that I've had an interest in the history surrounding George Preddy for quite a long time. I was sent a link to this video this morning, that I thought was very well done, filled with candid interviews and archival footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfeMgwg-Lx0

Also, there was some sad news that came through the 352nd FG Association earlier last week, about the passing of Lt. Col. Don Bryan, an ace of the 328th FS, 352nd FG.

You never know who you might meet in this day and age. I just found out tonight that one of my customers belongs to the area chapter of the tuskegee Airman Assoc., and was personal friends with a pilot from our area who recently passed, last name was Matthews I think he said. I am going to do a some research for him about getting some embroidery done for him and some of the other members.
