Another Edward Willett
I just discovered that I share a name with one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen (you have to register with the Dayton Daily News to follow that first link, by the way; if you do, you’ll see Edward Willett of Yellow Springs, Ohio, is mentioned as one of the other pilots from the Dayton area about halfway down), the black fighter pilots who performed outstanding service for the U.S. during the Second World War and who were just honored with the Congressional Gold Medal for that service.
