My father, 1st Lt Murray Tucker flew with Ray Brooks in the 22nd. THE LOG Here's a photo of Brooks' log for September 29, 1918 recording a sortie in which my father participated. They shared other flights, but this is the only record I have. Click to really enlarge. This is a 150K+ file that will take a while to load if you don't have cable, DSL, ISDN or other broadband capability. It's a bit difficult to read, so see a transcribed version of the pages.
Then, here is an enlarged portion of the log showing my Dad's name.
