Any chance that the 23rd Fighter Squadron has a website where can email someone for a records search?I think my great uncle was in the 23rd, since he was not listed on your AVG roster.GForce99

If you try a Google search, you'll get the address of the 23rd Fighter Group heirs, who call themselves Flying Tigers. I think they're a helicopter outfit. There's also an A-10 unit that wears the...

Thank you. I have ordered that book from my local library.Is this A-10 squad also called the 23rd Fighter Group ?I am a little confused.~Ethan
View ArticleRe: Roster of Flying Tigers
Yes, it confuses me also. One outfit is U.S. Army, the other is U.S. Air Force. Okay, the army helicopter unit is actually the 3-229th Aviation Regiment. They called themselves "Hell's Angels" after...

So far all I know is that my great uncle flew a plane in World War II in China as a Flying Tiger.So what groups would my search be limited to?Thank you very muchEthan

I know a fair amount about Charlie Gordon. E-mail me at lmharnisch@hotmail.com but be sure to put "black dahlia" in the subject field or it goes in the trash.

Again, you might look at the information at http://www.warbirdforum.com/faq.htm about getting military records. It's tough, because many Army Air Force records were destroyed in a fire.

I clicked on your website "danford.net/roster.htm" and It gave me "We don't seem to have the page you're looking for!" Just to let you know.

One of the least clever things I have ever done was to migrate my pages to a new domain. You'll find the roster at www.warbirdforum.com/roster.htm When I get home, I'll put up a re-direct to that page...

I am a first cousin of Matt Gordon Jr., and even though he died before I was born, I would love to get any information, copies of pictures, remembrances, etc. that I can. I have heard several family...

Alas, my interest (and knowledge!) pretty much ends with the dissolution of the American Volunteer Group in July 1942. Probably Mr. Gordon served with the uniformed USAAF units that followed the AVG....

Yes it is. He grew up in Pueblo, CO. His oldest brother, Vincent, was also a military pilot who retired as a fullbird colonel and fought in WW 2, Korea, and Vietnam. He also was a test pilot and one...

Any info on a crew chief still alive. Would be interested in speaking with him. Would prefer from original squadron.
View ArticleRe: Roster of Flying Tigers
Of the American Volunteer Group crew chiefs, Ed Stiles and Frank Losonsky are still with us. They hosted the 2012 reunion, so wherever that was held, they likely live near there.

Ah, I see why you kept adding Black Dahlia references to unrelated threads! (I deleted them, assuming they were spam.) Matt Gordon wasn't a member of the American Volunteer Group, so I have no...
