Tales of a War Pilot


This is the biography of pilot Richard C. Kirkland who flew the P-38 Lightning in the 49th Fighter Group (49th FG) in the South West Pacific Area (SWPA). Chapter 3 "Escape from the Stone Age" details the saga of fellow pilot 2nd Lt Richard S. Strommen who bailed out of P-38G Lightning 42-12709 and later returned to duty.
