m10bob -> RE: OT - Oldest American Ace passes away at 104 (8/22/2015 1:52:28 PM) In the sixties, dad took me to a local Holiday Inn meeting room where we met Adolf Galland, Douglas Bader and Johnny Johnson. It was a sponsored event, cost "fans" something like five bucks to get in. They were very animated in retelling exploits, and they knew each other intimately.
