Colonel Clyde B. East
As a volunteer, Clyde East joined
the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941, and flew combat operations
from England. He transferred to the USAAF in January 1944,
flying over 200 combat missions and finishing the war with
14 ½ victories. He later flew combat during the Korean
War.

'Bud' Mahurin
'Bud' Mahurin gained a reputation
as one of the USAAF's most colorful fighter Aces. Arriving
in the European Theater, flying with the 56th Fighter Group,
he indulged in seventeen months of heavy aerial combat, during
which he suffered one crash and was forced to bail out three
times, finally landing behind enemy lines. Undaunted, he made
contact with the French Resistance, and found his way back
to England. He had by this time shot down 21 German aircraft.
He then transferred to the South West Pacific where he added
a Japanese aircraft to his score. 'Bud' Mahurin commanded
the 4th Fighter Intercept Group in Korea where he added 3
½ MiG-15s to his tally before being shot down, for
the last time, to spend a grueling sixteen months as a POW.
Lieutenant Colonel William 'Dixie' Sloan
