His book says he was in the 354th fighter group. You need a rest.

I'm still waiting for you to document your suggestion that the black pilots were put strictly on to milk runs.

Then your original claim was false anyway, right? You made all those racist statments about "chaos" ensuing if the blacks had equal treatment with no basis in fact, right?

What Howard said and what you say are two different things.

Could I politely ask you just what you are talking about?

This is your reply to post #436. I didn't mention "squadron" in that post. Are you trying to be dishonest? I think you are for whatever reason. I'll figure it out though.
