Paul J. Eastman

Paul J. Eastman's story has been (well) written by Walt Shiel: ROUGH WAR / The Combat Story of Lt. Paul J. Eastman, a "Burma Banshee" P-40 and P-47 Pilot.
Walt Shiel a écrit le récit de la courte carrière de Paul J. Eastman, un pilote du 90thFS, qui pourrait avoir volé sur le P-40N #83.
He may have flown P-40N #83, as seen on this very bad picture...but it seems more likely that his assigned P-40 displayed #85, same as his P-47 later."Bunny" was his wife nickname, while "Lady Esther" was his mother.
"Bunny" était le surnom de sa femme, tandis que "Lady Esther" faisait référence à sa mère. Sadly, Walt Shiel passed away, back in 2016. RIP, Walt.
His book can still be found on Amazon or else.
