Best of the 301st
-
04/08/2008 01:34:36 PM
I'm working on a 4 foot X 6 foot poster for the Air Museum of Kentucky. I'm taking the 15th AAF Organizational Chart, blowing it up and adding color pictures of the most representative plane and person/crew.
So,
1. Who is the most famous/recognized person of the 301st?
2. What is the most recognized/famous plane of the 301st?
Examples:
For my dad's group, the 97th B.G.:
1. Paul Tibbets, Jr.
2. The "All American"
For the 332 F.G. (Redtails):
1. Benjamin O. Davis
2. "By Request"
