Boys----

 

Pictures of LtCol Harry Stewart signing our comics about an hour ago! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully we'll be rescheduling with Roscoe Brown next week!

[MedicAR]

Are these Tuskegee pilots too?

I thought they only flew the Mustangs, not the bombers.

 

More information as it comes in the next 24 hrs----but there's a VERY good possibility that I can get two more airmen (Bomber pilots!!!) at the same signing as Harry Stewart.

 

I'm awaiting details now----cost would be an additional $50 per.

 

If this is something you'd like to explore, we'll post it up ASAP!

 

They flew Mustangs, bombers, and more according to the Tuskegee Airmen Inc. website.

 

"...before flying P- 51s to escort heavy bombers, the squadrons flew P-40, P-39, and P-47 fighters to support the advance of ground forces in Italy. Before that, the Tuskegee Airmen in the United States flew other kinds of aircraft in training, including aircraft specifically designed for primary, basic, andadvanced flying training. The Tuskegee Airmen story also involves bomber crews who trained with the 477th Bombardment Group and the 616th, 617th, 618th, and 619th Bombardment Squadrons to fly B-25s for the war against Japan, although they never got the chance to go into combat overseas.

Not at this time.

[littlebill]

thanks for the pictures rich. in my opinion this is one of if not the best ss op i have seen on these boards since i have been here.

Currently looking at finishing with Roscoe Brown next week----however, if Roscoe is able to connect me with one or two more airmen, I'll make note of that here afterwards.

 

Otherwise, Roscoe and Harry will wrap the signing and books will go in for grading.

 

I was a bit disappointed when the signing with Charles McGee fell through---he only lives 40 minutes from me! :whatthe:

Rich,

 

PM sent regarding Ennis sig opportunity, just wanted to let you know in this thread.

 

Thanks.

[LJ808]

If possible can you add Garth Ennis in addition to the Tuskegee Airmen. Thanks

[IndyKMB]

Thx for the updates, Rich. Def a bummer about CM, but I'll certainly be happy with whatever airmen sigs you are able to get for us.

[A-DONIS]

I love seeing this. Thank you Rich!

[Rich_Henn]

Thursday is the day Garth and I go sign with Roscoe---I'll post pictures afterwards.

Thanks to all who took part in this op!!!!!

[chainnball]

I've been involved in some pretty special signings but I think this was the best. Was such an honor to spend the time with a true American hero! thanks Richie for the opportunity!!

[chainnball]

Oh, and having to spend the day with Garth Ennis didn't suck either, .

[OV]

Very cool indeed!

Probably my favorite cover----
