Comments: Am looking for anyone who knew my father-in-law's brother. His name was George H. Mennig, Jr and his nickname was Sonny. He was apparently killed while flying in November, 1954. If anyone has any more information, it would be greatly appreciated. His wife is looking for any details of what happened as the military did not give her any details.

Comments: I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Marine Corp Aviation Reconnaisance Association. I just looked over the roster and there are many who should be there and aren't. This is the perfect way to keep track of former squadron mates and keep the momories of photo recon alive. Address is; MCARA 1303 N. Vista Place Anaheim, CA 92805-1338 Semper Fi Rocky Kemp
