Who was George Kenny? I think I may have a gap in my edication here. Macarthur...grrrr! Ever hear what he made Eisenhower do in Washington to the Hoovervilles before the war? He should have been prosecuted before he ever got dumped in PI.

I KNEW I knew his name! I should have been thinking eaalier than those WWII piccies! I'll have to look into him more. Must have been an interesting guy! He had all kind of pumkins to juggle out there! Would Kenny have been the guy that Mountbatton was always bothering for more C47's to supply his troops?
