But I got Welch right then? The other guy looks familiar. It's on the tip of my tongue.

"Nip Nemesis II" :wink:

Didn't look at all like Don Fibber McGee and he is my favorite P-39 pilot! :oops: Wow I feel dumb!

Glad I got Welch right. Seeing how he is another favorite of mine. He was even the first to break the sound barrier. Sigh! :twisted:
