I paid a visit to Travis AFB's museum today (I'll post some photos in a few days, for those interested).
Whilst there, I noticed posters advertising a symposium next Sunday, organised by the Northern California Friends of the Aces. Incidentally, they also organised an excellent 8th AF Aces symposium at Duxford in 2003 which I attended, sadly the poor attendance (although not surprising at £100, about $190, per ticket) precluded them having another in the UK.
They are advertising that 5 P-38 aces, including Darrell Welch, are anticipated to attend. Panel discussion in the afternoon, followed by a signing session.
$30 per tichet ($25 to members of 'NorCal Friends of the Aces'), starting at 1.15pm.
