Great Tribute story of a pilot for PO-S for sugar

I was surfing the web for info and came across this story about one of the pilots of PO - S for Sugar Lancaster bomber.
It was was a great tribute story.
The only sad part is that there is a family problem of his wartime medals.

George Preddy was......Just the greatest fighter pilot who ever squinted through a gunsight.
He was a complete fighter pilot.......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.

Very cool stuff indeed. Glad that I have that model.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Great Tribute story of a pilot for PO-S for sugar

Your welcome mates.....It was just luck i got it too.
It was nice to see him next to the PO-S with his son in the museum too.
But it's so sad about the medals he earned during the war..The Sister
acting the way she is...that sister is somthing else it looks like too.
Even Mum can't do anything about it to get them back....So sad.
