This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Blanding, from Sumter, South Carolina, flew with the 4th FG from October, 1942 until September, 1944. I would like to include his story in a future Volume of "Remembering The Canadian Yanks". He died in Sumter on April 15, 1988. Would anyone have access to a death certificate or, the name of the funeral home that conducted the service. The name of the cemetery where he was buried would also help. Proof of his death is needed to search his RCAF records in Ottawa, Ontario. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom Walsh.

If you go to
http://www.whitepages.com/ and look for Patricia A. Blanding, Sumter, SC (his daughter?), you'll get a phone number for her. It also shows a Patricia W. Blanding (89) which may be his wife.
