Passing of an AVG pilot
I finally made it back to MH2, It has been along 5 months working with my daughter. Unfortunately I do bring some sad news. John "Dick" Rossi passed away on April 17th. I had a the good fortune to chat with him about his days with the AVG and the P-40's. He would argue that the P-40 was the best fighter in the Pacific theatre. He was with the 1st squadron "Adam n Eves" as Flight leader with 6.25 victories.
Figarti made a model of his plane....

He was also Co-founder and pilot for Flying Tiger Airlines.
These links are brief bio's about him.
