Kenneth M. Taylor, who was one of the first 2 army air forces pilots to get airborne and engage the enemy after the japanese launched ther attack on Pearl Harbor & together shot down at least 6 enemy planes, has died. He was 86.
He recently passed away, nov.25, but being made public now, unless it already was & I missed it. Kinda ironic though, today being 12-7 ???
Rest in peace good man, rest in peace. Thank you for your courage on that day, and the many days that followed. Here's a few for you brother,

Another 'gone west'. A true hero. Fair skies and a tailwind to him.
