Thanks. Actually, other than poor Rex, I don't have any HAs (and Rex wasn't an ace, just a VC winner). With Rex dead (the way I described it in a previous "letter to Alice", more or less), they're all regular pilots. And they're dropping like flies. In addition to the plane and crew lost a few days ago, have lost two more planes and crews in today's two flights. All Morane crews. I'm beginning to appreciate the BE a bit more....
If you don't mind, I'll continue to mention Arthur, when appropriate (promotion, more kills. medals, and whatever else) Alvin doesn't have any friends since Rex died, so the focus is moving toward his personal dilemmas - at least till the Germans start shooting back.
