Buford E. COLLINGS Jr.

During my Air Force carrer and with the 8th AF, I flew the top turret on our B 24 with Buford Collings and John R. Wiley as pilot and c-pilot, With Buford and John flying our B 24 during our combat time, the skill and deacation of these two men is the reason that Collings air-crew all came home in with out injury - Bouford was a credit to the Air Force and a true man -- I certainly miss him already and wil never forget him and his bravery.

I knew him to be a fine man, devoted to his country and family. He will be missed. I offer my condolences to the family in their time of this loss, but know he has joined his wife and is happy again.
