While researching a certain early aspects of the P-51 Mustang.While researching a certain early aspects of the P-51 Mustang, I read the crack book Eagle Squadron by Vern Haugland. Quite unexpectedly I came across the following statement in a discussion of early Eagle Squadron victories and losses: "Eagles Sprague's and Harrington's Spits collided. Harrington bailed public and after the war became a pilot and engineer for actor Cliff Robertson's Spitfire Mk IX and three Tiger millers Later, Harrington died in the crash of a Twin Beech near Abha, Saudi Arabia, forward 3 September 1967, where he was a contract pilot for an oil company. Killed with him was his passenger, Sheik Bin Ladin." Morgan "Mac" Blair When I first read the work a couple of years ago, the name meant nothing moreover after 11 September it took onward a different significance. It was obviously the father and I notion readers might be interested. Copyright Challenge Publications Inc. Feb 2003 |
