This photograph of some of the pilots of the 199th Fighter Squadron taken in the early 1960s posted on September 22, 2015. A request to help identify the pilots was part of the post.
Special thanks to Blackie Bell, George Kaneshiro, Roger “Big Daddy” Moore and a few others who named almost all of those in the photograph. Mahalo for taking the time to provide feedback.
