Bob Stephens' son, Jeff

One of the neat things about being involved with this project is meeting new friends or family members of the men of the 354th.
Recently Jeff Stephens, Bob Stephens son, sent me an email. Bob Stephens was in the 355th Fighter Squadron. Jeff has made several patches with the 355's logo - (see photo).

If you want one, he has a few left for sale at a very reasonable cost. He can be contacted at jstephens@gvtc.com . He did a great job reproducing the Pugnacious Pups' 355th Fighter Squadron logo! By the way, the patches are 4.5 inches across.

Jeff has sent me some cool info and photos about his father's training to become one a member of the 354th Fighter Group. It is much appreciated!

JUNIOR BIRDMEN OF AMERICA

While doing some more research on 4 Star General F. Michael Rogers, I found this website with a letter from him to AVIATION HISTORY Magazine.
