Captain McDonald was lost in an aircraft incident on November 25, 1953. He was from Louisiana and served in the RCAF and the USAAF in WW II. Any details covering his loss in 1953 would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike,

That's the guy I'm looking for as he flew Sabres in Korea. I'll be sure to mention your name in the credits when McDonald's story appears in Volume 3 of "Remembering The Canadian Yanks". If anyone else has anything to add detail wise, please pass it along.

Cheers,

Tom Walsh.
