Talk:Bill Guckeyson

Image; ace status?

This image is credited to the USAF (USAAF in WW2), which may put it in the public domain. It states he was killed while on a strafing mission. The legend also gives details of planes he destroyed; he does not appear to be an ace (five aircraft destroyed in aerial combat); this authority credits him with 2.5 victories (at page 268).

Refs for Ace status? Date of birth? Where did this death occur? — Rlevse • Talk • 23:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

It seems clear he was not an ace. The 2.5 victories mentioned above are documented in the encounter reports linked here (grouping on the bottom). His last victory was shared, hence 2.5 total. The source for the "ace" claim appears to be the school website, which on this subject is not a reliable source. A Google search for Guckeyson + 361st (his unit, which should also be mentioned and linked) yields other information on his war history. Kablammo (talk) 23:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, Kablammo. I'll add the info. Strikehold (talk) 00:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
