I just met Art Leach in Pontiac, Illinois. He turns 103 in May. He is one of 2 living airmen who were stationed on the Yorktown. They snot down 91 jap planes and had none shot down by enemy planes. Lost the rest to accidents anti aircraft guns.

He drove to the resteraunt where I ate and stopped and visited with everyone. I am star struck and so grateful to have met this fine American.

Do yourself a favor and Google him. There are interviews with him online. His story is amazing. He also flew in Korea and Vietnam. What a character
