I am sad to report that Thursday evening, March 23 Vic Byers left us. Here is part of the letter from his family:

"...our Lord Jesus Christ called
His child, Vic, home to be with Him, absent from all illness, weakness & sin of this world... now totally consumed by the very glory & splendor & awe of His God & Savior (Jude 24).

Vic and his lovely wife Elda enjoyed 61 years of marriage together.

Vic was the operations officer for the 351st fighter squadron and flew the beautiful P-47 with the nose art of Hawkeye.

Please join us as we pray for Vic's wife, family, and friends.

Godspeed and Salute

According to 353rd.com these are the original pilots.
