In the 1943-45 log book of Don McBride, Richard listed his home address as:  Richard L. Green Box 617 Brocton, New York Richard Green was killed in plane a crash, June 15, 1945. Richard's brother, Kuhl Green, sent me this letter. Richard's brother, Kuhl Green via Kuhl's son, Jeff Green, also provided a high resolution of this photo of Richard and a friend. Richard is on the left. And from Kuhl: "Taken I know not where--could have been Multi-Engine training in Texas or could have been in China."  Pete Billon provided the following photo of Capt Richard Green and Capt Ced Mah on the road to Sikiang, NW of Kunming in Lolo country. The bearded gentlemen are French Missionaries.   (Photo Courtesy of Pete Billon) Tom, That picture was taken on the road to Sikiang, same trip as with R. Green and the French Monks. Those guys are Lo-Lo's and the guns are home made. My recollection was that the barrels were wraped with wire. They were interested in our guns, and looked them over carefully. They were very friendly, and seemed to enjoy our roadside visit. These are mountain people, and many had large goiters on their necks due to lack of Iodine salt. We used sign language I recall. It worked. Pete (Billon) January 6, 2001 From Pete Billon DEAR TOM - YES, AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMER, THERE WAS FOG AND HE MISSED APPROACH - BUT - WASN'T IT AT HONG KONG? THERE HAS TO BE A RECORD SOMEWHERE.
