    Default Robert Friend, Tuskegee Airman Who Flew in 142 Combat Missions, Dies at 99

    I've just noticed he died in June. He was such a nice guy, he must have been about 97 when a saw him in this aircraft museum by LA. Funny, happy and full of war stories. R.I.P. Bob.
    By the way, his Mustang "Bunny" was recently restored.

    R.I.P Lt Col. Robert Friend.
    Any one got any idea how many of the Tuskegee Pilots are still alive?

    He, too, was part of what America calls, "The Greatest Generation"
