I noticed this story in my local paper this AM:
Lt. Col. Besby F. Holmes, holding a model of the P-38 aircraft he flew in World War II, died Sunday. He was 88.
Besby Frank Holmes, a World War II ace who helped shoot down Admiral Yamamoto, the mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack, died Sunday at Marin General Hospital. He was 88 and lived in San Rafael.
Here is one story:
