These two photos I copied off a page that Bob Buckles had put up on a site I believe was called "Roots & Wings". I meant to put a link to it eventually when I got around to making Bob's page but when I got around to it, it was gone... such is the internet. Anyway, thankfully I had copied these pix ( I liked them ) because here I am and the site is gone. So, if you are Bob, I have tried to track you down to no avail so am posting these thinking you might find them and grant me permission to use them. If not, I will take them down. (these photos are the personal property of Bob Buckles)

Bob put a lot of information about his war years on his page and I got a real kick out of reading it all and checking out his photos.

I think Bob's page and info should be put back online and I would be more than glad to post it here, for eternity, if I could get a hold of it ... Bob ... anyone ????

Until then, my info is clearly lacking ...

It blows my mind that these 3 "kids" were fighter pilots involved in air combat with the Luftwaffe !!

You can see Buckles and Maybee in this shot with some other notable members of 401 Sq.
