THE REAL AIRCRAFT AND THE REAL MAN

The man that flew the real 'Lil Margaret' in WW2 was Clyde B. East.

Clyde joined the war in January of 1944 and flew over 200 combat
missions destroying some 14.5 enemy aircraft in the air.

Clyde stayed in the USAAF after the war and retired in 1965
with the rank of Lt. Col.
Have a look at Clyde and Lil Margaret in the two photos that 
I've included.

Salute to Col Clyde
