hello all,

after i saw the post about Al Jones - P-61's pilot of the 414NFS, i contact Stony for more informations.
we exchange some mails and in a pdf file i discover a name and a unit.
the name told me nothing but the unit catch my eyes. 370FG.
this unit was present in Belgium at A-78 Florennes.
so, i start some searches and discover more info about James K and a photo of him wearing his A2 on wich is a patch of triangular form.
Jim was into the 401FS

intrigated by the patch i start some searches, it took me long but i finally found. yeahhhhhhhhhhh

it was very funny to search this, i'm already happy with the result but if you have more, don't hesitate; my file about the 370FG is not rich.

Reminds me of a bar I sometimes visit in New York called DEATH & Co.
