- 4. Honoring American Military Aviation 4 It began with a single plane Lloyd Nolen and a small group of ex-service pilots from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas pooled their money to purchase a P-51 Mustang for $2,500 in 1957. They formed a loosely defined organization to share the pleasure and expense of maintaining the Mustang. A short while later, the group added a pair of F8F Bearcats to the P-51 Mustang. At this point, the mission of the CAF became clear: save an example of every aircraft that flew during World War II ~ a mission no one else was undertaking. What started as a hobby became an urgent mission to preserve history. “Red Nose” is worth $2M today

- 44. Honoring American Military Aviation Photo Album The Photos of Raymond Jeffcoat Raymond Jeffcoat 1924-2018 Raymond “Jeff” Jeffcoat passed away on Friday, July 13 at the age 93. He was a kind and generous man. Many knew him as an event and airshow photographer. He also volunteered for PR, photo and newsletter duty with the CAF DFW Wing based in Lancaster, TX. He was often at our Squadron events and I relied on him for pictures. His photo of my late friend, WWII veteran Robert Phillips graced the cover of our newsletter. He also loved photographing his favorite subject, Lisa “Rosie” Foster. Raymond will be missed by many and his skills as a photographer are a loss for all. I have gathered some of the pictures he shared with me over the years for this photo album. - the Editor

- 46. Honoring American Military Aviation I was thinking about Roy in the car today. There are fan pages about Roy’s work on Facebook and Irene is wonderful about frequently posting images and stories. I’ve especially loved seeing his early industrial and sci-fi artistry for Popular Mechanics…very retro-cool stuff. Roy meticulously researched a project. If he was painting a scene depicting a moment in combat, he talked to the ace and gleaned as much information as he could. He also dived into every resource he could about that ace, the time it happened, aircraft involved, landscape and environment. What resulted was the most accurate and timeless image of what really happened – endorsed by the person who was there when it happened. If you think about it, there is no actual photograph of what happened. Everything Roy did leading up to his painting is a recreation of the vision of that moment. It is the closest we will ever come to seeing that moment of heroism, tragedy, glory or heartache. Many of the pilots Roy has painted have gone West. It makes me smile to think Roy is reuniting with them today. The paintings he did of their acts of bravery and sacrifice will forever be told through the work Roy honored with his gifts.

- 117. Honoring American Military Aviation 117 In 1966, the then fledgling Commemorative Air Force, in their quest to gather an example of all the remaining World War Two bombers, attempted to track down a B-29. At this time, except for two noted museum aircraft, the B-29 was considered almost an extinct aircraft. Enter Roger Baker Enter Vic Agather “China Lake” Navy releases B-29 s/n 44-62070 to the CAF This B-29 is assembled from parts from nine other B-29’s She flies out of China Lake on August 3, 1972.
