Keep 'em coming, Jack!
You may recall from one of my email art newsletters that we are working on a new 354 FG DVD. Our producer has dug up some pretty rare stuff, including some good Jim Howard film (ground movies of
DING HAO!, etc, plus some of Jim's gun cam footage), and
film of Don Beerbower!
We will also be offering the complete wartime 354th FG operational diary as a PDF 'companion' to the DVD. I offer 'hard copies' of the complete 4 FG diaries for all three squadrons now, BTW. Don't know if I told you guys about that.
I'm also aware of the forthcoming 354th FG book, due out later this year, and I recall you mentioning that here on WIX before. I'm really looking forward to that release. Too bad they didn't stay with 8th, because they might have gotten a larger share of that "Mighty Eighth" publicity machine (Cronkite, Rooney, Wolfert, Irwin, et al) that the 4th and 56th soaked up so well (and most deservedly so, I might add), since they (the 354th) proved themselves to be, well, literally the most successful American fighter outfit to ever see combat.
As I said, keep 'em coming, Jack - you know all of us here really enjoy these peeks into your archives.
