CRYSTAL CLEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE

ALDEN RIGBY- Born on January 4, 1923, in Fairview, Utah, Alden Rigby graduated from Cadets at Spence Field, Georgia, in December 1943. He graduated from P-51 fighter training at Bartow, Florida in April, 1944, then served as an instructor for two months before he was assigned to the 352nd Fighter Group, based at Bodney, England. He traveled across the Atlantic on the transport ship USS Mt. Vernon with no escorts. “We turned the motors off on three separate occasions due to the ship’s captain being concerned about German U-boats in the area.” In December, 1944, he was given P-51D 44-15629, HO-R, which he called “Eleen and Jerry” after his wife and baby daughter. On November 27, 1944, while flying with his friend Lt. Robert Draftz, they got separated after strafing a train. Soon thereafter, he shot down his first enemy fighter, a ME-109. On January 1, 1945, he was one of twelve pilots who flew combat during the famous “Legend of Y-29 Mission”, in which he shot down two Me-109s and two FW-190s, becoming an Ace. In September, 2000, the American Fighter Aces Association – Aces Victory Confirmation Board, awarded him the 4th victory at Y-29. This brought his total to five air-to-air and six total victories. He destroyed a JU-52 on a strafing run, which he recalls “burned really well as it was made out of wood”, plus destroyed many trains and barges. “In air-to-air combat you could defend yourself, air-to-ground strafing was murderous.” He flew 76 combat missions, with a total of 272 combat hours.
