Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for honoring Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) fighter pilot Clyde East who transferred to the U.S. Army Air Corps as a fighter pilot during WWII, then he served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War and later in the Vietnam War.
Rest in peace Clyde East.
Rest in peace Clyde East.
