My former neighbor, Col. Newt Tyndall, died recently at age 98.
From his obituary:
“His distinguished 30-year Air Force career spanned World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was one of the first master navigators in the world (celestial and radar). During World War II, he was assigned to the 58th Bomb Wing, which was the first unit to take B-29s into the war against Japan. He flew 25 combat missions and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal, along with other citations. He witnessed the end of World War II Sept. 2, 1945, when his crew led a formation of B-29s over the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay during the surrender ceremony on its deck.”
A long and full life.
Did he ever discuss Roswell (1947)?
