I know it is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had any contact info for a Blacksheep Squadron member that may want to do an interview for the EAA Timeless Voices program.

A volunteer who takes charge - that's what I like to see! If I come across a veteran from 214, I'll let you know Chris.

Thanks actually working with two veterans of mission control during the Apollo era right now, and looking for the next project. I'd also love to do one with a Flying Tiger. The one thing that I have noticed since I started with these is that even someone that thinks they were a small part in aviation history has amazing stories to tell.

Mint Moore (Corsair boss or Corsair airboss, can't remember) who posts here, knows virtually all of the surviving Black Sheep members. He is the one who put together and organized the Corsair gathering at Indy in '02. You should PM him, as he has all of the contact info for them and can connect you.

Jim Hill is alive and well and lives in the Chicago area, and I believe that Ed Harper lives outside of St. Louis. Bruce Gamble, who wrote the most recent (and best IMO) books on Boyington and the Black Sheep, would be another source for the few survivors. You could probably reach him thru his publisher. I believe he lives now in Georgia.
