Dear Mr. Ryan, 21 April 58 #2
A recent issue if 17th
Air Force Newpaper "Pegasus"
carried an account of your
current work on a history of
D-Day and suggested that
any who had participated
might possibly have
information useful to you.
Should you need any info
from a fighter pilot's viewpoint
I would be happy to oblige.
My group, the 479th, flew
many sorties on that day,
as well as on the evening of the
5th and days following. We
were equipped with P-38s at
that time and by nature of the
missions assigned us were
afforded a ring side seat of the
whole operation. Robin Olds
Colonel USAF
