Ha! I figured it out with the O2 mask still on!
I got to met Gabby at the 2001 IPMS National Convention in Chicago (that's the International Plastic Modelers Society.) He had his two old crew chiefs with him, the first time all of them had been together since the war. All three autographed a model I build of Gabby's P-47..it's now one of my most cherished pieces of aviation memorabilia (especially since he died just a few months later.)

That's really cool Steve. What did they have to say about your model?
