Pictured here flying solo out of the formation ,after performing a double corkscrewed Immelmann with a roll off the bottom of the loop into a stall turn and dive(that one foxed many a Messerschmitt and Fockered quite a few others). I have it on good information that the Wing Commander is presently resting and enjoying up his hobby, photography, in Canada, and is looking forward to piloting an SR71 Blackbird in an attempt to break the circum- global speed record West to East. (I'm afraid I am not able to reveal the source of this information) 3 cheers for the Ace of the RCAF Per Ardua ad Astra http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Ted_Arrows_edited_2 Douglas
